What OS are you trying to install? Are you installing on the 2TB drives, or a separate drive / USB?

yop · 25-09-2015 12:32PM

Install 2012 onto a 2TB drive. The OS is been installed from a USB key

are you using intelligent provising or trying to install directly?

yop · 25-09-2015 12:43PM

Using IP.
I deleted the logical drive again and added it back in as an 80GB partition just to see if that was a problem.
It didn't work, just failed again.
I tried another drive and same thing. Bit annoying.

I might be doing something odd!

Can you install into a desktop and partition the discs, then put them back in the server?

I've reseated them both and take one out now totally. A head wreck this :eek:

Try calling HP support. I think you get 3 months support included.

Danger781 · 26-09-2015 09:32PM

Have you tried installing it as a bootable ISO rather than through IP?

yop · 26-09-2015 11:12PM

I just removed the array and set it up again. This time I woent for the custom install and it worked!
Now to get the money back done!

yop · 28-09-2015 07:54AM

Okay, so we have no sound card in these, any options on this?
Also the graphics card won't run one of the applications I need to run, and the spec on that isn't even high!!

Graphics: 1GB dedicated GPU, or embedded Intel HD 4000/AMD R5

64 bit running native.

Just to check (I know this is basic but I have no knowledge of your skills)
You switched the graphics to the dedicated GPU in the BIOS ?
Your using the HDMI port (or another port on the graphics card)
You have drivers up to date.
Whats the error you get? and will it work at all?

yop · 28-09-2015 10:40AM

No its fine. Graphics are onboard. No HDMI, only VGA.

1 free PCI slot, so I have no sound and graphics card isn't up to scratch.

Looking like this server is a dead duck for both!

Totally read you wrong then you quoted a graphics card above, I read it as if you had the R5

"Graphics: 1GB dedicated GPU, or embedded Intel HD 4000/AMD R5"

Yeah integrated GPU is very low not really used for any types of apps with higher graphics use. I have played some games etc on HD3000 but believe me its not worth it.

What about using a USB sound card
