现在服务器的硬盘都比较大，经常会超过2TB。所以安装系统的时候经常会出现一些新的问题。
1，安装windows server 2008r2/2012r2时提示：无法在此驱动器上安装windows。
因为服务器出厂一般默认还是BIOS引导，当你合并VD（虚拟磁盘）后，改用UEFI引导安装windows时会出现此错误。此时你可以使用”shift+F10”快捷键打开命令行窗口。执行以下命令清除之前BIOS引导时磁盘分区残留的信息。命令如下：
diskpart （启动diskpart程序）
list disk （列出现有的磁盘，一般合并后为一个disk0）
select disk 0（这里根据实际情况选择你要清除残留信息的磁盘）
clean （清除所选磁盘残留信息，注意所有的数据也将丢失）
然后就可以像平时安装windows那样进行安装了。
2，超过2TB的硬盘不能划分为一个分区。
这是因为BIOS引导下默认MBR分区格式最大只能支持到2.1TB，超过了就不能划分为一个分区。需要更改为UEFI格式引导，采用GPT分区格式。
3，GPT分区格式磁盘不能建立扩展分区，不能建立逻辑分区。
这是因为GPT分区本身不支持扩展分区和逻辑分区。但GPT分区格式windows下支持最多128个主分区肯定是够用了。所以直接分区主分区就好了。
