Dell 1850 utility partition not available

kan du se hd'en ellers fdisk og gør partition aktiv

Når jeg går trykker Ctrl-M for at komme ind så jeg kan config./se mit hardware. Så står der disk 0-1 er ready.

Så jeg ved ikke helt hvad du mener med at gøre partition aktive ?

Den siger os ( Please create som DOS partitions first)
Hvordan gør jeg det ?

det må være din raidcontroller så skal du configure disken via den

Hvordan gør man helt præcis det?
- Skal jeg have nogle driver, eller skal jeg bare ind i config, og lave det om ?

Hej vmanmartin

Hvilket OS er det du prøver at installere?

Hej igen

Jeg har talt med vores support om sagen, og de informerede mig om, at du skulle køre denne ISO først: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/Product/poweredge-1850?driverId=NF1CT&osCode=WNET&fileId=2731102793&languageCode=en&categoryId=SM, da den har alle de nødvendige drivers & firmware.

De sendte samtidig denne guide:

1.    First, locate or download a DOS boot disk with fdisk such as cdenabv2.exe 
2.    Boot the system with the 1.44MB Floppy drive to its BIOS configuration and temporarily disable the onboard IDE/SCSI/SATA controllers

NOTE:
This is done to make sure the USB Flash drive is only device seen by fdisk. Otherwise it will not be able to mark the primary partition active on the USB Flash device if another device already has an active partition.
3.    Attach the USB key to the system and boot to the DOS diskette created in the first step. The system's BIOS must support USB Flash Drives
4.    Run fdisk from the floppy.
5.    If no partitions are created on the USB flash drive create a primary partition and mark it active.
6.    If a primary partition already exists, mark it active.
7.    Exit out of fdisk and reboot the workstation
8.    Reboot to the DOS diskette
9.    Format the C: by running A:\>format c:
10.    After the USB device has been formatted run A:\>sys c:
11.    A message will display System Transferred
12.    Finally run A:\fdisk /mbr

NOTE:
If the system BIOS does not support USB Flash drives as mass storage devices you will get a message No Fixed Disk Present when running fdisk.

Configuring the System BIOS
To configure the system bios for USB Flash Drive boot support, perform the following:
1.    Attach the USB Flash drive and power on the server
2.    Boot the system to setup by pressing F2. From the main page arrow down to Integrated Devices and press Enter.
3.    Verify that the USB selection is set to On, with bios support. Arrow down to the option and use the left / right arrow keys to change the setting.
4.    Press ESC once to return to the main page.
5.    Verify that the USB Flash Drive emulation type is set to Auto. Arrow down to the option and use the left / right arrow keys to adjust the setting.
6.    Press Alt + B to save and exit the changes.
7.    Press F2 during POST to enter setup.
8.    Verify that in Boot Sequence, Hard Disk drive C: is listed and has a check mark next to it.
9.    Once in setup arrow down to Hard-Disk Drive Sequence and press Enter.
10.    Locate the Hard-disk-emulated USB flash drive and press the - key to move it to the top of the Hard Drive Sequence.
11.    Press Alt + B to save changes and exit. The system will reboot.
12.    If no CDROM/Floppy installed the USB Flash drive should be bootable.
When the system boots, it should boot to the USB Flash Drive, unless other devices such as CDROM or Floppy Drive are ahead of it in the boot order.

Håber at det går, at den er på engelsk.
