MO Device
If you specify the file system as NTFS with MO Device connected during the installation, the file system will not be converted normally. Disconnect MO Device and restart the installation from the beginning.
Media such as DAT
During the OS installation, do not attach the unnecessary media for OS installation to the system, such as DAT.
Partition Size
The minimum required partition size for installation of Windows Server 2003 is:
2900MB + Paging file size + Dump file size
Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory * 1.5
Dump file size | = Installed memory size + 12 MB |
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 installed memory size is 512MB, the minimum required partition size is 2900MB + (512MB * 1.5) + (512MB + 12MB) = 4192MB.
Dividing into the partition of the recommended size into multiple disks as written below will solve problem that it cannot be reserved in one disk.
1.Set the "Size required for installation + Paging file size".
2.See Chapter 5 and set that debugging information (equivalent to the dump file size) is to be written to a separate disk.
(If the disk does not have enough free space to enable the file size to be written, then after installing the system using the "Size required for installation + Paging file size," install an additional new disk.)
