Installation of windows 2012 R2 on Poweredge R900 with Raid

Hello

I have installed Windorws on my Poweredge R900 2012 R2 there controller raid Perc 6 / I with 5 SAS 300 GB HARD drive, but I don't know on what level of raid, the operating system installed. When I check the drive C: Manager shows 790 GB but as a virtual disk Dell watch TB 1.35 approx. might one explain what the level of raid, the operating system is on and how to check it.

Thank you

If you have 5x300GB disks in a RAID array, and the total size of the array is ~1.35TB, you can have them in a RAID 0. Click on the RAID 0 to see the Member disks - you will probably see that a single disk virtual, you will probably see 5 records as members of this VD, and you will probably see 0 GB of free space on each.

Then, C: is 803GB... What other partitions are there?

In RAID 0, if a disk fails, EVERYTHING disappeared. You're almost certain to have a loss of data. I would recommend you get a backup, wipe your RAID 0 and set up a larger RAID 5 (or 6 would be better).

  • Problems with the installation of Windows 2012

    Hello

    I suck with creating a virtual machine as a server windows 2012.

    on the creation of the vm I then run the installation since the data store disc. When I selected the language and then clicked on install I always get a screen around "media not found driver...". ».

    I can't get around that, any ideas on how to fix?

    Hi again jmwebster,

    We had a number of previous reports of the non-Microsoft browsers forum repeatedly truncating the download of the installation of Windows 8 media.  If you still don't have success with your most recent upload and you are not already using Internet Explorer, it may be worth your while to use IE for this download Windows Server 2012.  I have not passed through the procedure myself, but apparently if you use IE you should be given the possibility to use a download manager to manage the download and verify its integrity and passing by that the procedure seems to have led to more positive responses from users of the forum who have problems before and had tried to download several times.

    Good luck with it!

  • HP ENVY m6-n113dx Notebook PC: new installation of Windows 8 on HP Envy and with problems of drivers.

    I have a laptop HP Envy M6 and it came with Windows pre-installed on it 8.1. I always do a new installation of Windows, whenever I have buy a laptop that I hate all the bloatware and stuff which they pre-install on it.

    Unfortunately, when I did, I found that the drivers on the HP website do not work for some things, especially my wi - fi.

    In Device Manager there are three things that make their appearance as having a problem:

    Network controller:

    PCI\VEN_168C & DEV_0036 & SUBSYS_217F103C & REV_01

    Unknown device:

    Unknown device:

    ACPI\VEN_HPQ & DEV_6007

    If anyone can provide me with some drivers work, I would be incredibly grateful. I called HP and they told me all I can do is to pay $40 for a CD delivered to me so I can reinstall the version of bloatware, and I really want to do. I want to use my real version of Windows 8 and not pay for something I don't even want.

    Thank you!

    Nevermind, I fixed it myself by reading old son of Paul_Tikkanen

    I used http://www.pcidatabase.com/index.php

    and found the diver that I needed, and now I don't have to pay $40 for the version of bloatware.  Yay!

    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.

  • Installation of Windows server 2008 on Poweredge R320

    Hello everyone

    We bought a new Poweredge R320 server in order to install 64-bit Windows Server R2. There are 2 drives inside and they are preconfgured as raid1.

    I changed the configuration of SATA in RAID mode and also initialized by PERC-H310 RAID1 without any problem. When the server starts up, I see the following messages.

    We found no Raid 0 disks

    1 Vitrual disk (s) were found.


    I can boot from the windows media but no disks are found and is prompting me to browse and install the drivers from nesseray. So I downloaded

    I extracted the contents of a USB, restarted the server and when you are prompted for drivers during the windows installation, I traveled to USB which 2 files are found.

    nodev.inf

    percsas.inf

    I tried both of them, but every time I get a message saying to make sure that the correct drivers are found. It seems that is not the correct drivers.

    Could be he you please direct me to the correct drivers? Or if you have any suggestions please let me know.

    Thank you very much

  • Installation of Windows Server 2008R2 on Poweredge R320 fails

    Hello

    It is not possible to install W2008 server.

    The Windows Installer process request a CD/DVD driver. We have no CD driver and we did not found a DVD driver on the support sites.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you for the help

    Stephan

    Try disabling the S110 controller built into the BIOS.

    You can also try loading the drivers for this controller during the installation.

    If none of the above works, your installation media is likely bad.

    I have read many topics related to this... and no simple and easy... but accessible, so, without other comment, that's what I did... install WinXP SP2 as on any other pc/laptop... It will display an error, (just click ok and let the installation continue).

    When installing WXP is done, download the drivers from the first model which has the support of Windows XP Home edition, (they work for me) and install them manually. (Again, this works for me!) Simple as that!

  • Installation of Windows XP on a new PC with a separate hard drive

    I heard many different answers from others to do what I want to do.  Finally, my old PC crashed on me, so I recently built a new PC that is out of date.  I had Windows XP and now Windows7, but for some programs that I want to use XP and this is why I am looking for an extra hard drive to run my XP and of course boot and when I want to.  The thing I heard between 2 different people, that brings me here to find out for myself.  Told that "your code of disk and windows activation is saved with your motherboard you had on your old PC and so it will not recognize it for your new.  The other person has said "if I'm not mistaken they allow the transfer up to 3 different PC with your windows disk.  My question is that I am able to install and activate my Windows XP on my new PC and if so how many different PC can I install my windowsXP on before that I have to buy a new disc?

    Hello

    If your XP is preinstalled on the old computer (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or if you have an OEM System Builder License, it is an OEM license.

    An OEM license is not transferable and is related to the first computer that is installed on the license dies when the computer dies.

    Without reinstall on another computer or activation is allowed.

    If you had a license to retail sales of XP that you have purchased and installed yourself on the old computer, it is transferable.

    The only condition is that a retail license can be installed on a single computer at a time.

    One license is for a single installation.

    And I suggest that you ask in the Windows 7 Forums on the installation of compatible XP programs in Windows 7.

    Is there a version of vCloud Director 5.1 that supports the installation of Windows 2012 R2?

    Thank you

    Matt

    Hi Matt,

    Based on the history of changes, I can say that Windows 2012 R2 should work perfectly even on 5.1.0 GA of course, it is best to use the latest available version 5.1.x.

    Note that there is no separate guest OS ID for it, so the virtual machine should be defined as Windows 2012.

    I can install windows 7 in Envy DV7-7234 with Windows 8 buth with dual boot: win7 and windows 8?

    Installing Windows 7 on your HP ENVY computer Notebook dv7-7234nr is not supported by HP. In addition, no Windows 7 driver is listed on HP Software and Driver Downloads page for your computer.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 and it will support the installation of Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not support some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the ' settings of BIOS ' settings below page;

    Then, start Windows 8 and run the console 'disk management '. Using "Shrink Volume", reducing the size of the "C:" partition about half of its original size. Name of the partition "C:" to something like "Windows 8". Now, start the computer from the Windows 7 DVD, making sure to select "UEFI - internal CD/DVD" or "UEFI - ATAPI CD/DVD ' and not ' Legacy - CD/DVD internal."  (I recommend using a disc of Windows 7 SP1latest drivers have been included in this topic. The use of the SP1 disc usually resolves most disk hard AF and other issues. )

    Install Windows 7 on the partition without label that was established earlier when you shrunk the partition "C:". Continue to install WIndows 7 by / responding to all the guests. Once you download Windows 7 on your computer, we have to track down the compatible drivers for it. Please list all the "hardware ID" for unknown or missing devices.
