Installing Windows Server 2003 X64 Editions E-3
About the System Partition Size
The system partition size 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 = 4100MB (Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions)
= 4100MB (Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions with ServicePack 2)
= 5900MB (Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions + Service Pack 2 CD-ROM)
Paging File Size (Recommended) = Mounted Memory Size * 1.5
Dump file Size = Mounted Memory Size + 1MB
Application Size = Required Size
IMPORTANT:
The above-mentioned paging file size is recommended for collecting debug information
(memory dump). The 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.
Regardless of the size of the mounted memory, or the Write debugging information (type of
memory dump), the maximum size of the dump file is 'The size of the mounted memory +
1MB'.
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:
4100MB + (512MB * 1.5) + (512MB + 1MB) + Application Size
= 5381MB + Application Size
Dividing into the partition of the recommended size into multiple disks as written below will solve problem that it cannot be
reserved in one disk.
1. Set the "Size required for installation + Paging file size".
2. See Chapter 5 and set that debugging information (equivalent to the dump file size) is to be written to a separate disk.
(If the disk does not have enough free space to enable the dump file size to be written, then after installing the system
using the "Size required for installation + Paging file size", install an additional new disk.)
