Installation issue

[Gerhard Kreuzer]

Hi,

I try to install Windows Server 2012 R2 on a brand new ML110, i100 Raid, 2 x 1TB, 32GB Ram, but it fails.

Last command is rmdir c:\boot. I checked out c:, but there is no such directory, so he is right, unfortunately.

Whats wrong here?

.iso is directly from Microsoft.

With best regards

Gerhard

Where do you see the " rmdir c:\boot" command ? 

Are you in the recovery mode ? Is the server completing POST

Where are you trying to install the OS ? (Local , SAN) 

Have configured Hardware RAID ?  if yes, what RAID ?

Can you please help us to understand if the issue got resolved or not?

This will help for everyone who are all following your forum.

Hi,

when installation starts, there where a command window open. Here I can see whats going on. Few lines before hang up, I see this message.

Lastly it turns out, that the install.wim file is 4.7 GB and it needs a ISOtoUSB program which can handle this correctly. I have one, but this wasn't ok, no error message (hu) but wrong image. Nice, isn't it.

After two attempts with other programs I found RUFUS, This little tool works fine and installation succseeded.

Raid and everything else was ok, I used the open cammand window to check the content of drive c:, the target drive for this installation, works fine. It was also my first idea, that the raid/drive/controller causes some problems.

With best regards
