Dell PowerEdge R720 RAID Configuration Error
Dear Experts,
I have recently purchased Dell Power Edge R720 Server with 16TB Storage, each hard disk size is 4TB and total hard drives are 4.
I have configured RAID 5 with 4 physically hard drives and total size is 16 TB. After configuring RAID 5 i am going to install windows server 2016 but i am facing error when i create partitioning.
After configuring RAID 5 i have remaining space is 11175 GB but when i create C:\ partitioning with 200GB Space and i want to create more partitions with remaining space but there is an error like this (we couldn't create a new partition [error: 0x80042468]), and shows me unallocated space which cannot be used further. Please help me out to remove this error.

Hello,
this is because the BIOS should be set in UEFI mode and partition should be created to GPT format.
See here some information about the resolution
