When Attempting to Restore Factory Settings (Window Server 2003) from recovery disc, on to a RAID 5 Configuration of 3 discs (note 4th disk died and has been remove and array recreated), i get the error "invalid logical drive configuration has been detected", Im fairly new to the setting up of servers from scratch, have i configured Raid incorrectly?

Adaptec AE438B Raid 5 mirrored 932GB 256kb write cache: disabled build/verify

The recovery disk won't be able to fully deal with your after-market Adaptec controller as it assumes you've bought a HP model instead, it just won't know what to do with it.

Is there any software for an EFI boot that may help manage the array for an installation or should I go and get an actual disk of windows server and forget about the recovery system – Lachlan Jan 5 at 11:00
The latter makes much more sense. – Chopper3 Jan 5 at 11:40
i just checked supposedly the RAID card is standard it all the models, but i cant be bothered wasting any more time, thanks for the help – Lachlan Jan 6 at 9:37
