Installing the Operating System with Express Setup 5-23
Creating Partition Size
The minimum size for the partition that the system is to be installed can be calculated from the following formula.
Size necessary to install the system + Paging File Size + Dump File Size Size necessary to install the system = 1000MB
Paging File Size (Recommended) | = Installed Memory Size * 1.5 |
Dump file Size | = Installed Memory Size + 12MB |
IMPORTANT:
The above paging file size is necessary for collecting debug information (memory dump). If you set the default value of paging file size smaller than the 'recommended' value, the accurate debug information (memory dump) may not be collected.
The maximum paging file size which can be set on one partition is 4095MB. If the above paging file size exceeds 4095MB, specify 4095MB for the paging file size.
The dump file size for the system with more than 2GB memory mounted is '2048MB + 12MB'.
If you install any application program or the like, add necessary space to the partition to install these programs.
For example, if the mounted memory size is 512MB, the minimally required partition size will be calculated by the above formula as follows:
1000MB + (512MB * 1.5) + (512MB + 12MB) = 2292MB
NOTES:
If you want to install using Express Setup, calculate the minimally required partition size as follows:
If you do not apply Windows 2000 Service Pack
The larger value of either one: 'Minimum Partition Size' described above, or '4095MB'.
If you want to apply Windows 2000 Service Pack
The larger value of either one: 'Minimum Partition Size' described above + 850MB or '4095MB'.
