Installation and Configuration
If you are reinstalling Windows, the setup software prompts you
to overwrite or upgrade:
• To overwrite, press Esc and follow instructions.
• To upgrade, press Enter.
• If you want to create a new hard disk partition, you must first
delete the existing partition, and then create a new one. To do
so, select the partition you want to delete, press D, and then
follow the on-screen instructions to complete the deletion of
the partition. Once the system deletes the partition, you can
press C to create a new one.)
9. The setup software prompts you to specify the file system format
for the partition. Select NTFS file system format (which is
suitable for most sites) and press Enter, unless you have other
specific requirements.
For background information on the choice of the NTFS file system, refer
to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 184006.
Setup formats the partition, copies the Windows system files to
the partition, and starts rebooting the server.
10. When prompted, remove the diskette and CD-ROM.
11. If your system prompts you to press any key to boot from
CD-ROM, do not press a key. Instead, allow the system to boot
from the array (if external) or the local disk (if internal). After
booting, the system continues installation, displays the Windows
banner, and begins autodetection of mass-storage devices and
adapters.
12. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
When the Completing the Windows Setup Wizard screen
appears, click Finish.
13. Install the latest EMC-approved Windows Service Pack and/or
OS patches or updates. Follow the procedures in the Microsoft
documentation that accompanies the updates.
