PL1600R RAID Controller?
P.S. After a lot of Googling I found posts that said to get SmartStart 5.5 and after dozens of dead links I was finally able to find it. Unfortunately, I found SS 5.5 after installing Windows XP and I don't want to damage my XP install trying to play around with it. Any info/guides/tutorials that would describe what SmartStart 5.5 can actually be used for would also be appreciated.

Re: PL1600R RAID Controller?
since you already install windows XP in your server SmartStart is not useful for you even if the server had no OS smartstart won't help you since SmartStart CD(SSCD) is to install operating system like W2000 and W2003 not XP
SSCD is basically a tool to deploy servers which has Smart Array controllers
the easiest way to know which controller your server has is going to Device Manager
and check either
-> IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller
or
-> SCSI and RAID controller
so you will find which controller you have
also when server boots up controller will comes up during POST
bye

Also I think that one had a smart 2DH RAID controller originally but this may be o/s supported by something as recent as XP. Smart start was used to guide an O/S install and put in hardware specific drivers during installation OR to patch drivers at a later date, without this some default Microsoft drivers would be used.
