Ubuntu Server - Drives not recognised

I am in the process of setting up a home server using Ubuntu Server on an old Dell Optiplex 755. I have installed two 80GB drives in RAID 0 and another 500GB drive for mass storage and backups. The operating system is running from a 4GB USB stick. When I attempt to boot the computer with all the drives plugged in, I get a message telling me that the drive cannot be booted from as it is a NAS drive. I believe this is because the computer is attempting to boot from one of the other drives despite the USB stick being first in the boot priority. When unplugging the drives and booting with only the USB stick installed the computer boots into the OS with no problem. How can I get the computer to boot with the drives plugged in?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
