I tried BOIS and UEFI without success. The controller is an H700. The drive is a Samsung Evo SSD. I was able to get the install to work successfully after creating a bootable USB stick using the server iso and Rufius. I'm not sure why none of the other methods worked correctly however I am back up and running now. Thank you
I'm having issues with a bare metal install.  I attempting to install server 2012 r2 on a Dell R510. The setup start normally but when it gets to where do you want to install it gives me an error "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one.  For more information, see the Setup log files."  I have tried everything i could think of doing. I tried to install from DVD as well as Bootable USB same problem.  I also tried running diskpart to do a clean and reformat of the drive.  Still cannot seem to get this to work. Please Help
