Chapter 1 • Upgrading Your System
Disk Space Limitation
The older TDZ 2000 GT1 systems had their internal system drive configured
as follows:
Avid|DS 5.0 requires 175 MB of disk space. If your system matches the above
configuration, it is possible that the installation of Avid|DS 5.0 will require too
much disk space on an already very crowded C: partition. If that’s the case, you
must decide what to do in order to prepare your system before the upgrade.
To work around this, you could try the following:
• Remove as many unnecessary files from the C: partition as possible.
• Uninstall any programs that are not required to work with Avid|DS.
• Move the Virtual Memory (pagefile) from C: to another partition on this
drive (preferably F:, but you could use E:).
If the disk space is still an issue and you cannot keep the free space higher than
20% of total disk space at all times, consider repartitioning your drive. This
involves getting rid of all the current partitions and reformatting the drive in a
new configuration.
The most recent Intergraph GT1 system drives were partitioned as follows:
You may decide to follow this configuration, replace the internal system drive,
or add an additional drive inside the GT1 to enlarge your partitions.
