I am trying to install Windows server 2008 R2 on DELL PowerEdge R620 server, & facing issue.
"We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files."
Resolution:
- Set your PC to boot from DVD via BIOS
- Put the DVD in and let it load until you get to this screen:
- Once at this screen, press: (SHIFT+F10) to get a CMD window
Step by step instruction:
- MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THE DRIVE YOUR INSTALLING WINDOWS TO NOT ANOTHER. In the CMD window, type in Each Command and Press <ENTER> Key as follows:
DiskPart <ENTER>
list disk <ENTER>
select disk 0 <ENTER>
clean <ENTER>
create partition primary align=1024 <ENTER>
format fs=ntfs <ENTER> (Will Take a While)
assign <ENTER>
active <ENTER>
exit <ENTER>
exit <ENTER> - After it completes, exit the INSTALL COMPLETELY and reboot.
- Once you are back in, go about installing Windows just DO NOT ALLOW Windows to create a new partition, use the only one there.
