Change boot drive PE 2950

$

We have a PE 2950 and have purchased a new SATA hard drive which will become the new OS drive and need to change the default boot drive. Long story short, when the server was initially configured, the C drive was only given 12GB and is now 99% full. We have attempted to expand the C drive partition multiple times to no avail.

We are running Server 2003 R2 x86 with 3 SAS drives (RAID 5) plus the new SATA drive on a PERC 5/i. We have restored the entire C drive to the new HD from a backup and attempted to boot from the new drive but at no point did the BIOS give the option. We tried removing the 3 'old' drives but this new drive still didn't appear as a boot from option.

What are we doing wrong?
