Installing Windows Server 2008 5-3About the System Partition SizeThe system partition size can be calculated from the following formula.When the system is Windows Server 2008 64-bit (x64) Edition:Required partition size =size required to install OS + paging file size + dump file size + application sizeSize required to install OS = 11,600MB (Full Installation)12,300MB (Full Installation with Service Pack 2)16,720MB (Full Installation + Service Pack 2)or= 4,100MB (Server Core Installation)12,300MB (Server Core Installation with ServicePack 2)9,300MB (Server Core Installation + Service Pack 2)Paging file size (recommended) = Installed memory size x 1.5Dump file size = Installed memory size + 300MBApplication size = Required sizeIMPORTANT: The above-mentioned paging file size is recommended forcollecting debug information (memory dump). The paging filewith initial size large enough to store the dump file in the bootdrive is required.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 + 300MB'. If you install any application program or the like, add necessaryspace to the partition to install these programs.Example:The partition size required for a system with an installed memory size of 512 MB and a fullinstallation of the operating system:11,600MB + (512MB x 1.5) + (512MB + 300MB) + application size= 13,180MB + application size.
