Really.  You have three others where it worked fine and one that doesn't?
All were provisioned "identically" and only one has the issue? 

Hmm... :)

Actually that is along the lines of my next step - hitting up Dell to see if
there are BIOS updates for this series of servers. I didn't think initially
that BIOS issues would be the culprit here since I have 3 other identical
servers (hardware wise) running Windows 2003 that did not have this issue.
Who knows though...stranger things have happened! :)

Here's a few things to check that may be of interest here:

1) Check your disk controller bios. Verify it's properly setup.
2) check your disk spindle bios.  Verify it's properly setup.
3) check your block sizes.  Make sure you have the proper disk block sizes.
I've seen some screwiness when you use the wrong block sizes and as a
theory, that could be involved in your problem.  
4) If I didn't mention it before, check all the bios' disk, array
controller, server, etc.  

5) If this is not a clean CD install (you have other apps on there) you may
want to check this with an out of the box version.  If it is clean, check
the bios for the disk, array controller, server etc. 


I think that should be helpful.
