normally. Disconnect MO Device and restart the installation from the beginning.

Media such as DAT

During the operating system installation, do not connect media not necessary for operating system installation such as DAT.

Partition Size

The 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 + Application Size
Size necessary to install the system = 2900MB (Only Windows Server 2003)
Paging File Size (Recommended) = Mounted Memory Size * 1.5
Dump File Size
Application Size
IMPORTANT:
The above-mentioned paging file size is recommended for collecting debug information
(memory dump). The paging file with initial size large enough to store the dump file in the
boot drive is required.
Correct debug information might not be able to be collected due to virtual memory shortage
when the paging file is insufficient, so set an enough size of the paging file with the entire
system.
The maximum paging file size which can be set on one partition is 4095 MB. If the above
paging file size exceeds 4095 MB, specify 4095 MB for the paging file size.
The maximum dump file size for the system with more than 2 GB memory mounted is
'2048 MB + 12 MB'.
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 512 MB, the partition size will be calculated by the above formula as follows:
2900 MB + (512 MB * 1.5) + (512 MB + 12 MB) + Application Size = 4192 MB + Application Size
Dividing the recommended storage space size over multiple disks as written below will solve problem of the size of the
partition on a single disk .
1.
Set the "Size required for installation + Paging file size" as the system partition size.
2.
Specify that debugging information (equivalent to the dump file size) must be written to a separate disk. See Chapter
5 for more information on the procedure.
(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.)
