When the text "Setup will load support..." appears, press Enter.
Note: If you see a message that indicates the installation cannot continue because a hard disk could
not be detected, it is possible that you have not used the correct third party Windows 2000 Server
driver. It is also possible that the hard disk drives or the hard disk controller in your server is faulty.
Contact the manufacturer of your server to obtain support for this issue.

Follow the on−screen prompts until you are prompted to specify the partition on which to install
Windows 2000.
Note: If you see a message that indicates the installation cannot continue because a hard disk could
not be detected, it is possible that you require a third party Windows 2000 Server driver. It is also
possible that the hard disk drives or the hard disk controller in your server is faulty. Contact the
manufacturer of your server to obtain support for this issue.

If no operating system is installed on the server, skip to step 11.
If you are installing Windows 2000 on the same partition where an operating system is already
installed, select and delete that partition. If there are other partitions on the same disk drive, you might
want to delete them as well. However see the caution below before you do this.
Caution: If your server uses a disk partition to store files required to manage its hardware
configuration, do not delete this partition.

If you already have your hard disks partitioned the way that you want, select the partition on which to
install Windows 2000 and proceed to step 12.
Otherwise, you need to create the partition first by selecting the hard disk and then selecting the
Create Partition option. If you do not want to allocate the entire disk to the Windows 2000 Server,
enter the appropriate partition size. Make certain that the partition that you create is large enough for
the Windows 2000 Server and any other applications such as MSDE, SQL, Exchange, and so forth,
that you want to install on the same partition. 10 GB is usually sufficient for a Windows 2000 Server
partition.
Note: If your have RAID configured, you can only install a Windows 2000 Server on a RAID type 0
compartment.
Note: If you have other disks, you can either configure them now or after you have completed the
Windows 2000 Server installation by using the Hard Disk Manager tool in the Computer Management
Management Console (MMC). See your Windows 2000 Server documentation or the online help for
more information on this subject.

If the partition you selected in step 11 is unformatted, select Format the Partition Using the NTFS
File System, and press Enter.
