Adaptec 1210sa SATA Raid Controller

I have a new Dell PowerEdge 750 @ 2.8 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 800 MHz FSB, 1 MB L2 Cache, all with (2) 250 GB SATA drives.

I've recently bought an Adaptec 1210sa SATA Raid Controller and following the directions, I've attached the card into either PCI slot, and though the motherboard recognizes the card, whether I have an Windows Server 2003 or not, it won't let me go any further.

With the O/S, it'll boot to "Press F1 to continue, or F2 to Setup." If I hit F1, the blue screen of death flashes quickly, then automatically reboots. If I hit F2, of course it goes into Setup which does me no good, and promptly brings me back to the same message.

Any thoughts as to how I can make this work?

Thanks
 
Was windows installed prior to adding the adaptec card?, if so that what windows will do becasue from wink2 and up it does not like its hard drive/mass storage drivers changed.
There are 2 was to resolve this, 1) hook the hard drives back up to the motherboard and install the standard ide controller drivers (done through a manual updates of the ide controller drivers) then hook it up to the adaptec card.

or 2) installed windows fresh on the hard drive while it is hooked up to the adaptec card
