So I pickedup a Samsung F4 HD which I'm adding to a Win2k3 box. I due to a series of events, I ended up Removing it from the disk management. I can see the drive in the Nvidia storage panel but I can't see it in the device manager, disk manager or diskpart.

Any suggetions on how I can get the disk back?
 
Try going into Device Manager, then in the Action menu or the toolbar use the "Scan for Hardware Changes" option. The disk should be redetected and show up under Disk Drives. If it doesn't show up here nothing else in the system will see it.

The Nvidia tool probably connects to the chipset directly and get's its info from there. See if there is an Enable or Activate option in there somewhere.
 
I think i figured this out (its been a while since I set up this comp).

Basically the nvidia onboard raid shares ports with the onboad sata controller. I was running a mirror'd drive which I pulled out the system. When I plugged the new drive in, the nvidia controller software had to be configured for the drive.
