    I have configured a RAID 10 in the BIOS. 

    When I start the install of Server 2012, I get to the part where it asks, "Where would you want to install Windows"

    I select the Drive 0 Unallocated Space 3725.3 GB

    I then get the error message that "this partition is too small. Make the size of this partition at least 9207MB or select another partition"

    Any suggestions? I am sure that there is something "stupid" that I am missing here, but I guess my brain is done!

    Thanks in advance!

    Assuming you don't have 3.5 TB of ram on the server (in which case the default pagefile would be a stupid size), I'd have a look at the raid controller:

    • has it finished its initial or background initialization?
    • Does it require the manufacturer's drivers to be loaded?
    • Is it (and the drivers) compatible with WS2012?

    If you're planning to boot from that, are you using UEFI?

    In other news - why would you want to install the server OS on such a large partition? (Or have you not got to the part where you create a new partition?)
