About the Hardware Components
When you install the Windows Server 2008 R2, Express Setup requires several preparations if this
computer uses the following hardware components.

Installing on the Mirrored Volume

When re-installing the OS to a hard disk drive which has been upgraded to Dynamic Disk, only the
simple dynamic volume is available for installation.
If you want to install the OS on a volume that is mirrored using Disk Management, invalidate the
mirroring and reset to the basic disk before the installation, and validate the mirroring again after the
installation.
You can create, invalidate, or delete the mirror volume by using Disk Management in Computer
Management.

About Removable Media
