Windows Server 2012 R2 install on Dell R520 – boot order issue
Installing Windows Server 2012 R2 on a Dell PowerEdge R520. Initially had problems with the “We couldn’t create a new partition or locate an existing one” error. Fixed by going into the bios and changing the boot order so that the internal SD card module came second rather than first (which was needed to make it boot from the SD cards).
Booting from dual SD card module on Dell R520
Installed FreeNAS 9.3 on Kingston Ultimate 16 Gb cards on dual SD module in Dell R520 (took ages – so did card synchronisation when first inserted). Came up as boot device missing initially on reboot. Changed hard drive order in the bios to put SD cards first and it booted ok.
