Windows will recognize the HP CCISS driver without the need to slipstream it into the installer. Once you get that situated, you will be able to create a logical drive either in the BIOS or by using the Smart Start CD. If you do have a card installed and there's a 68-pin SCSI cable connecting it to the backplane, remove the cable(s) and change to the above configuration. If you're seeing drives attached to the SCSI bus from the "SCSI Configuration Utility", you may be invoking to the onboard SCSI utility or a ROM utility for an installed PCI card. This assumes you don't have any PCI-X cards in the riser cage. You want your backplane-to-motherboard connection to look like this (assuming you wish to see all six drive bays on the motherboard controller). There are several cabling options in this system simplex, duplex and a few bypass arrangements that enable the use of higher-end RAID controllers. The key to this are the drive backplane and the motherboard connections. The SCSI controller traditionally only worked if there wasn't anything connected to the 68-pin SCSI connector on the edge of the motherboard (see #1 below). It also has an onboard MPT Fusion SCSI controller (meant for tape or RAW SCSI use through the external VHDCI port). In order to resolve your situation, you should understand that the server has an onboard Smart Array 6i RAID controller embedded on the motherboard. I presume you have a SCSI model with 6 U320 SCSI drive bays in the front. This is an old server, so I wouldn't invest much time, however the HP ProLiant D元80 G4 was an odd unit.
