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
+ Application Size
Size necessary to install the system = 1000MB
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). A 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 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 the mounted memory size is 512MB, the partition size will be calculated by the above formula as
follows:
1000MB + (512MB * 1.5) + (512MB + 12MB) + Application Size
= 2292MB + Application Size
NOTES:
If you want to install using Express Setup, calculate the minimally required partition size
as follows:
If you do not apply Windows 2000 Service Pack
The larger value of either one: 'Minimum Partition Size' described above, or '4095MB'.
If you want to apply Windows 2000 Service Pack
The larger value of either one: 'Minimum Partition Size' described above + 850MB or '4095MB'.
Installing the Operating System with Express Setup 5-27
= Mounted Memory Size + 12MB
= Required Size
