5-42 Installing the Operating System with Express Setup
IMPORTANT:
If you install Windows Server 2003 R2, do not apply Service Pack using Express Setup. If
you install Service Pack, apply Windows Server 2003 R2 DISC 2 once Express Setup is
completed, and then install Service Pack using the information in "Updating the system".
About partition size
– Specify a partition size larger than the required minimum size for installing the operating
system.
– Do not specify a larger partition size than the capacity of the connected hard disk drive.
– You cannot specify a logical drive larger than 2,097,144MB in a RAID system.
If you select "Create a new partition" at "Windows system drive settings", the contents of the
hard disk will be deleted.
If "Use existing partitions" is selected, ExpressBuilder installs the Operating System to the
1st partition (1st partition is deleted). The data in the other partition is kept if the system has
two or more partitions. (See the figure below.)

You cannot re-install the system if the existing partition that is upgraded to Dynamic Disk
remains. Do not select "Use existing partitions" at "Windows system drive settings".
