DL160g8 Unable to load into Windows after install
I feel ridiculous asking this question, as I am sure it is something simple, but I can't figure it out.,
I have a DL160g8 server with a B120i RAID controller. I have it setup as RAID 0 (yes, I know, but this is what I need for my setup).. I have 4 1TB drives setup, but right now all I have is an array of 200GB created.
Windows 2012r2 loads up fine from my iLO virtual CDROM, it sees the RAID array fine (when I do an advanced setup, I can select the 200GB drive to install Windows onto), it installs all of the files on the drive just fine. It then reboots and I get an error right away that winload.exe is not working with status 0xc00000e9. The info is "An unexpected I/O error has occurred.".
I feel like there is something wrong with the way it is being installed where Windows is not realizing it is a RAID array. I have tried the following
- Boot from the CD, load the RAID driver, and tried startup repair (failed. The log said it couldn't find the boot program or something like that)
- Went to a command prompt from the CD, and tried to run the various bootrec commands (/fixmbr, /rebuildbcd, etc.)
- Checked the BIOS to ensure it was in RAID mode and the hard drive was the first boot device
- I have done lots of other things, but can't think of anything key at the moment.
I have tried to reinstall Windows 2012r2 numerous times and the result is the same each time. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Hi,
did you try installing via Intelligent Provisioning?

I tried, the problem is that IP isn't detecting my media correctly.

Re: DL160g8 Unable to load into Windows after install
Here is another interesting point. Just to see if there was anything wrong with my hardware, I installed ESXi 6.5u1 for HP servers, and it worked perfect. Installed fine, and on reboot it worked perfect.
