Size of the Partition to be Created

For Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions:
The required minimum size of a partition to install the system can be obtained from the following
formula:
Size required for installation + paging file size + dump file size
Size required for installation
Paging file size (recommended)
Dump file size
IMPORTANT:
The above paging file size is necessary for collecting debug information (memory
dump). The boot volume requires a paging file size that is large enough to store the
dump file. Set an adequate paging file size for the entire system, since an inadequate
amount of paging file might cause a harvest of incorrect debug information (memory
dump).
The maximum size of the dump file is "mounted memory size + 1MB," regardless of
the mounted memory and the debug information (the types of memory dump).
If you need to install other applications, add the capacity of hard disk required for those
applications.
For example, if memory of 1GB is mounted, the required minimum partition size obtained from the
above formula is as follows:
5,900MB + (1,024MB × 1.5) + 512MB + 1MB = 7,949MB
For Windows Server 2003:
You can obtain the required minimum size of the partition to install the system from the following
formula:
Size required for installation + paging file size + dump file size
Size required for installation
Paging file size (recommended)
Dump file size
IMPORTANT:
The above paging file size is necessary for collecting the debug information (memory
dump). If a value smaller than the "Recommended" one is set for the initial size of the
paging file, correct debug information (memory dump) may not be collected.
The maximum paging file size is 4095MB in a partition. If 1.5 times the size of
mounted memory is larger than 4095MB, set the size at 4095MB.
If the size of mounted memory is larger than 2GB, the maximum size of dump file is
"2048MB+12MB."
= 5,900MB (Windows Server 2003 R2)
= size of memory mounted* × 1.5
= size of memory mounted* + 1MB
= 5,300MB (Windows Server 2003 R2)
= size of memory mounted* × 1.5
= size of memory mounted* + 12MB
