Wondering about the biosboot partition if it is an uefi system. Did you try with enough
free space before you boot net install?
With no free space available it may treat the hardware as newly to install and delete the
current content of the hd completely. And maybe struggle with an unknown partition type.
With enough free space for installation available, it should ignore the existing
partitions.
Dual boot is a bit tricky today. And we assume Server to be the only inhabitant on the
system. Co-existence is not a test case.
Did you specifically use the Server net install disk (not another one and then switch to
Server as install target).
It was netinst. In the past I've found the installer
for netinst gave me
more control over the installation and I could then configure the system
as desired. That no longer seems to be the case.
