Could it be this is a core Server? Then it's normal.

What should l do to install the operating system?
Sorry, did you answer my question yet? If it is a core server, there's no desktop and there never will be. All will have to be administered by commands (shell/powershell) or from remote mmc.
you have installed core edition which does not have gui or desktop.
if you want to connect hyperv manager then you can connect this server from any windows 7 or windows 8 machine which hass hyperv client enable

I am not sure whether it is a core server or not, is there a command l can run so I know? Also I am no longer getting the powershell prompt showing up when l logon is there a command to let it show up when l logon.

This will surely be a core server. Please learn how to use it, or ask the previous admin for documentation. There is no GUI and never will be.
Powershell, shell and RSAT is all you have.
