Unable to Boot Windows from 8TB Array

dash2009 · 09-03-13

I am trying to install windows server 2008 r2 x64 system/server. These are the server specs

E3-1230 v2
32GB RAM
2x4TB SATA in RAID0

Settings

Firmware : UEFI
Partition type : GPT
C drive : 150GB rest unallocated space

Windows gets nearly installed. After the first reboot (the one setup does automatically) it doesn't start. It says windows was unable to start please insert media and click repair your computer or something.

I can install windows on a 2x2 TB raid- array easily but this 2x4tb array in giving me headache.

Some help will be really appreciated.

It was a driver issue, I installed the OS with the dell driver pack and it worked.
