The system partition size can be calculated by using the following formula.
Size required to install the OS + paging file size + dump file size + application size
Size required to install the OS = 3,500 MB
(Windows Server 2003 R2 with Service Pack 2)
= 5,300 MB
(Windows Server 2003 R2 + Service Pack 2)
Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory size  1.5
Dump file size = installed memory size + 12 MB
Application size = as required by the application
For example, if the installed memory size is 1 GB (1,024 MB), the partition size is
calculated as follows:
3,500 MB + (1,024 MB  1.5) + 1,024 MB + 12 MB + application size = 6,072 MB
+ application size
Note
 The above paging file sizes are recommended for collecting debug
information (dump file). The initial size of the boot volume paging file must be
large enough to store dump files. Make sure you set a sufficient paging file
size. If the paging file is insufficient, there will be a virtual memory shortage
that may result in an inability to collect correct debug information.
 The maximum paging file size that can be specified for one partition is 4095
MB. If 1.5 times of the mounted memory size exceeds 4095 MB, specify 4095
MB.
 If the mounted memory size is 2 GB or greater, the maximum size of the
dump file is “2048 MB + 12 MB”.
 When installing other applications or other items, add the amount of space
needed by the application to the partition.

If the partition size for installing Windows is smaller than the recommended size, expand the
partition size or add another hard disk drive.

Dialog boxes appear several times during installation, but it does not affect system
installation. Click [Yes] on such dialog boxes, and continue installation according to

Inplace upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2003 R2 is not
recommended because it overwrites the files and registries and might cause an
unexpected effect on the system and applications.
If you want to use Windows Server 2003 R2, back up the necessary data before
installing Windows Server 2003 R2.
Tips
Inplace upgrade refers to overwriting an existing OS (in this case, Windows
2003) with another OS (Windows Server 2003 R2).
