HP Proliant ML310 Gen8 | Unable to install W2012 R2 after deleting previous W2008 R2

[Dsanchez101]

Dear HPE Community,

I may have found this old server with a Windows 2008 R2 installed, I wiped OUT completly the disks data trough ACU, but after I want to install via USB the new W2012 R2 it does not detect the RAID 1 disc at the windows where discs are supposed to be appear....

I also tried to use the F10 menu  "Intelligent Provisionin" > "Install & Configure a new OS", I introduce correctly the data for the OS, the PC reboots and the windows installation procedure begins as usual, but when installing windows it goes to the phase "installing updates" and this one gets stuck and  after some time it displays the following error: 

Windows could not apply unattend setting during the pass [OfflineServicing].

What do am I missing?

System Current Status:

No OS Installed

BIOS + Setup reset to factory.

Disks are wiped + RAID 1 installed

USB with the ISO of W2012 R2

Best Regards,

David Sanchez

Thank you a lot, for the info those threads really helped me up.

For the moment I managed to install Windows 2012 R2 by manually DISABLING the RAID at the BIOS. Tommorrow I would continue testing, but when i was about to go the windows launched correctly by itself so I may think its a tweak system config, will check it out.

Best Regards,
