I have got the problem that my server can't install Windows Server 2012 R2. There are 4 SSD connected to my server, three are Intel SSD DC P3520 Series 450G and one is Intel SSD DC P3520
Series 2.0TB. All of the disks are unallocated space. And when I tried to select the drive to install the system, the error "We couldn't create a partition or locate an existing one" was listed. The detailswere "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's Bios menu."
Because the boot mode is legacy, I tried to change disk partition format to mbr by dispart command. However,it doesn't work. Now I have no idea about this problem, could you please help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Baldwin,
Thanks for trying the suggestion. We believe that what Gize2 mentions is very important, you may want to try changing the boot mode in your BIOS for UEFI.
Please try that configuration and let us know, it makes total sense.
