I have a problem installing Windows Server R2 on a HP ProLiant 360e Gen8. There is a Raid 1 with 2 600GB SATA disks configured inside the b120i Smart Array Controller.
First time i fired up the setup via booting on a USB 2 installation medium it didn't show the logical drive. After searching some time i found out that i have to enable Virtual Disk Image.
The drive now shows up in the Windows installation setup but i'm still unable to choose the partition. It shows this message:
"We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files."
The solutions suggested on other sites didn't help:
- Changing boot order so that the target disk is the first Formating
- Partition and transforming to GPT via DISKPART
The log file says:
> DiskRegionSupportsCapability:Disk [2] is BLOCKED against capability
> [CanBeSystemVolume] for the following reasons... LogReason: [BLOCKING
