Hi
What i have:
1. Server R1000GZ (with rms25pb040 raid module)
2. Windows server 2008 R2 installation disk
3. 4HDD in raid array (RAID5 5.4Tb size summary, one virtual drive)
I want to install Windows 2008 R2 on this VD (2 partitions: 60Gb for windows (system) and second partition 5.3Tb for data)
Now i start setup of Windows, add drivers for rms25pb040 (windows see this VD), use diskpart to convert disk to GPT style, create several partitions (EFI, MSR, MSDATA) but setup cannot continue: "windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style"
What have i already tried:
1. Boot from flash - the same result;
2. Split GPT disk directly from windows installation manager - it just convert disk (vd) to MBR style and i see 2 "logical" drive 1.9Tb each.
3. Boot in EFI shell and try to launch "fs0:> \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI" but i get thie error: " '\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file"
Mb i do smth wrong? Any ideas how can i install Windows 2008 R2 in GPT disk?
Thx for your answers!
