Creating Partition Size
The size for the partition on which 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 = 2900MB
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 requires an initial size large enough to store the dump file in the boot drive.
Correct debug information might not be able to be collected due to virtual memory shortage when
the paging file is insufficient, so set paging file size coherent with the entire system.
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 need to install additional application programs, add enough space to the partition to install
these programs.
For example, if the mounted memory size is 512MB, the partition size will be calculated by the above formula as
follows:
2900MB + (512MB * 1.5) + (512MB + 12MB) + Application Size
= 4192MB + Application Size
Re-installing to the hard disk drive which has been upgraded to Dynamic Disk
You cannot re-install Windows Server 2003 in a partition of a hard disk drive upgraded to Dynamic Disk.
If you want to keep the current partition, see Appendix D to re-install the system.
Disk Configuration (Concerning the area displayed as "EISA")
In disk area, an area displayed as "EISA" may exist. This area is a maintenance partition for saving configuration
information and utilities. Do not delete the area.
