No persistent storage found

Hello - Not sure if this is a complicated issue or not.. but here's what I did.

I have a server where the CD rom no longer works, so I popped my two drives out of that server and placed it into a server with similar hardware and a working CD drive..and installed ESXi 5.5.  Everything seemed ok, so I then placed the drives BACK into the original server since I was now able to have ESXi on it, but when I joined it into Vcenter 5.5, the storage seemed messed up. When I tried to add a VM, it threw up some errors and then when I checked the storage in the configuration, it gave me a "no persistent storage found" error and told me to add it. When I did, it gave me an error that it could not create a partition.

Will the method I explained above not work for ESXi 5.5?  Both servers have very similar hardware. They are both IBM X3550s
