Hard drive isn't reconized when installing OS on proliant server

Question

I have a HP Proliant server model DL380 G5. 1 SAS hard drive 72GB and 1 SATA 300gb. Also i have a hp smart array p400 bbwc. (power of bbwc is low also has a warning sign)

I'm trying to install an operating system on this server but when i try to install CentOS via DVD it won't show the hard drive's.

I tried to configure the hard drive's as logical drive's via the hp rom configuration utility. There i have 3 options to create/view/delete array's.

When i tried to install windows server 2012 standard with gui it shows the hard drives but when i try to install the os on the server it says: "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one".

Is there something i am missing? Why won't CentOS detect my hard drives?

This usually happens when you need to add a driver so you can get all your drives into it. or just need to delete the existent partitions so it can show up. — Jose Ortega, May 19 '17 at 14:09
