Any further assist for the similar will be highly appreciated.

If you are not having a RAID controller then you would have not acquired Ctrl-G prompt that you have stated, anyways for utilizing the onboard SATA ESRT2 RAID you will have to enable the similar to in BIOS and later that you will acquire a Ctrl-E prompt, you can only check out the under demonstrate for more data, just check it out and see if it is helping:

Hey thanks for the same , it was really beneficial , I have created it now but then the further company that I am having is that the hosting server is operating very slowly, I just desired to know what might be the possible cause of the same is there anything I can do about the same as well?? Is it just because of the raid (raid 1). I also desired to know if the raid operator on the panel perform excellent or I should better get a raid controller?? What will you suggest?

In that matter you can test out the below answer and see if it is helping: First only update the BIOS of the board from the Intel Download Center Later that disable the PCI AER Support in the BIOS setting early installing the operating system and for that you will have to go in to BIOS > Advanced > PCI Configuration. When you are finish with the similar to then just attach the network ports to a network early the operating system loads the embedded NIC driver. Once the installation is complete just get the new Network Drivers for Windows and you are finish. Just try out the similar and this should end the issue.

I have now tested out the above answer and it is looking to be helping me out with the NIC but then the server is still slow, as long as I can guess it is because of the embedded raid, it might not be having a good quality, should I consider an outer raid controller here??? Or just utilizing raid 10 will be an excellent idea??? Do you have feel with raid 10??? Will it be helping?
