If the partition size for installing the system is smaller than the size required for
installation + paging file size, expand the partition size or add another disk. If your
system does not have a sufficient dump file size, divide the required file space into
multiple disks by performing the following steps.
1. Set the system partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file.
2. Write the debug information of the dump file onto another disk by referring to 7.
Setup for Solving Problems.
If there is not enough disk space to write the debug information, set the partition
size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file, and then add another disk
for the dump file.
Tips
When creating a new partition, Windows OS assigns an initial boot partition of
100 MB.
For example, when making a partition of 40,960 MB (40 GB), usable space will
be 40,960 MB – 100 MB = 40,860 MB.

If using BitLocker, note the following.
Be sure to keep the recovery password secure. Do not keep it near a server
running BitLocker.
To reinstall the operating system into a partition that is encrypted with BitLocker,
delete the BitLocker-encrypted partition prior to reinstallation.
Microsoft releases software updates for BitLocker encryption. If using BitLocker, it
is important that you read through the information provided by Microsoft. Also
read through the checklist published by Microsoft.
For details, visit

Important
If the recovery password is not entered, the OS cannot be started, and the
content of the partition encrypted by BitLocker cannot be referenced any
more.
The recovery password might be required at startup of the OS after the
following:
Replacement of motherboard
Initialization of trusted platform module (TPM)
Change of BIOS setting

BitLocker
Installing
Service Pack
You can install the Service Pack on the server. When the Service Pack is not
attached to your system, prepare it by yourself.
