Formating stuck on 99% then Error

[killmasta93]

Hi,
So im somewhat new to elastix and would like to get to know more. I had installed elastix on Vmworkstation with no issues many times. But Then I stalled it on Hyper V on a Windows Server 2012 R2. I go though the installation in the format section I leave it as use free space on selected drives. Then that did not work then I did remove all partitions option and nothing keeps getting stuck at the 99% then after that it would show me an error which says "An error accrued trying to format VOLGroup00/LogVol00. This problem is serious, and install cannot continue. Then I deleted the virtual machine and started again. Then again same thing stuck at the 99% then 5min later a different error "could not allocate requested partitions: partitioning failed could not allocate partitions as primary partitions. Not enough space Left to create partition for /boot." Well thats weird because I have it 20 gigs. Then deleted the virtual machine and started again then another error happened after the 99%. Im really confused to why. If anyone could shed some light on this Im using Elastix-2.5.0-Stable-i386-bin-21oct2014.



Thank you

EDIT:

FIX the issue for people who have this issue on Hyper V 2012R2 MAKE SURE that on the hardrive section it has to be SCSI NOT IDA not sure why but that seems to fix the issue for me atleast.

killmasta93,

Thank you for your post as it will help others.

I believe it will work for others as well...had a similar issue with the 2.5beta about a year or so ago...

Regards

also want to add that after it formats and installs elastix it will reboot then it will show an error saying cannot find boot. So then go back to settings and change it back to IDE because on the bios boot order for some reason it has to be IDE then boot up and your good to go
