Server SCSI problems

I want to build a dedicated webserver, and I have bought a old Dell PE750 for it to go on.

The current hardware configuration of the server:

s478 P4 2.8ghz
4gb pc3200 RAM
DVD-ROM drive
Adaptec 39160 SCSI Adapter
Seagate u320 38gb SCSI HDD

The problem I am having with this server is installing a NOS. I decided to go with linux for the server (I do not want to fork out >$1000 for windows server), but I cannot get 3 linux distros (Ubuntu server, Debain, Fedora) to even see the SCSI drive, much less install on it.

Any ideas on what to do here? I cannot seem to find anything to help on the internet.

Why not buy a cheap SATA hard drive? SCSI isn't any faster these days and you have 2 SATA ports.
