I've got loads of these and never had a problem, including 8.2-REL.

do the drives definately show up in the bios and whilst the machine posts?

Sometimes weird stuff happens if you have a bad iso, try reburning your 
install media.

Also try a linux install disk to verify its not OS dependent.

good luck
