■If you have a disk with a preinstalled bootable array volume (and it is not part of an existing RAID that you want to keep) and you want to overwrite it to install Windows, no other disk preparation is required. During the Windows operating system installation you will be presented the option to overwrite any existing partition(s) within the array volume. The following figure shows an example of a system with an existing bootable Sun Blade REM array volume.
