Installing Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions D-3About the System Partition SizeThe system partition size can be calculated from the following formula.Size necessary to install the system + Paging File Size + Dump File Size+ Application SizeSize necessary to install the system = 4100MB (Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions)= 4100MB (Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions withServicePack 2)= 5900MB (Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions +Service Pack 2 CD-ROM)Paging File Size (Recommended) = Mounted Memory Size * 1.5Dump file Size = Mounted Memory Size + 1MBApplication Size = Required SizeIMPORTANT: The above-mentioned paging file size is recommended forcollecting debug information (memory dump). The paging file withinitial size large enough to store the dump file in the boot drive isrequired.Correct debug information might not be able to be collected due tovirtual memory shortage when the paging file is insufficient, so setan enough size of the paging file with the entire system. Regardless of the size of the mounted memory, or the Writedebugging information (type of memory dump), the maximum sizeof the dump file is 'The size of the mounted memory + 1MB'. If you install any application program or the like, add necessaryspace to the partition to install these programs.For example, if the mounted memory size is 512MB, the partition size will be calculated by theabove formula as follows:4100MB + (512MB * 1.5) + (512MB + 1MB) + Application Size= 5381MB + Application SizeDividing into the partition of the recommended size into multiple disks as written below will solveproblem 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 tobe 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.)
