Problems installing FreeNAS on Dell poweredge

[Keith Nikolaevich]

So I recently bought a dell poweredge 2950 for 90 bucks and it was even filled with drives, everything works with no problem. But I tried to install FreeNAS and it worked the first time and I selected the drive I wanted it installed on, but after that I stepped on the keyboard and it selected something random and went through the normal installation then froze. I restarted the server, but then it wouldn't boot at all, so I tried reinstalling it and now it says there are no drives available. What do I do, I can't format the drives externally with a USB adapter, because the drives are weird connector I've never seen before. Is there anyway for me to clear the drives from the server or what can I do, please help?

Take all the drives out and get the system to install and boot from the USB. Dell server's are hit and miss with FreeNAS sometimes.
