But it won't boot afterwards and gives error:"Non-system disk or disk error"The reason I installed Windows Server without the HDD installed is because it would convert the HDD to MBR and put the System Reserved Partition on it. The problem is I'd lose 2Tb of a 5Tb HDD because MBR only supports 2Tb. It seems ridiculous that you cannot add a HDD afterwards and doesn't seem

I need your help as my situation below,

Primary server:

Windows 2008 R2 Standard (Master)

AD CS

AD DS

DNS

Secondary Server:

Windows 2012 R2 Standard

AD CS

AD DS

DNS

Replication AD only from Primary to Secondary server.

We have bought Windows Server 2019 Standard for two and we plan to upgrade both server,

I have found lots of step to upgrade AD server for easy ways by adding the bootable Windows iso media and run adprep /forestprep.

But I am worry If some thing else messup the configuration and AD itself.

My Plan,

1: Upgrade windows 2012 to Windows 2019

2: After all done, I will start upgrade Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2

3. An then start to Upgrade to Windows 2019

Question : Any step or prerequisite before i start upgrading ? (for example, AD might not working during installation or etc)

Thanks
