Getting Started With Your System

CAUTION:
During Red Hat 5.x installation, you will receive a warning that a read-only
file system was detected; Linux has detected the temporary storage area of USC that stores
updates for your system. Click OK, and a second warning will appear indicating that the
read-only file system has a loop partition layout and that it needs to be formatted. Click the
Ignore drive button. You may see both warnings several times during the course of Red Hat
5.x installation.
CAUTION:
During the beginning of Windows Server® 2003 installation, the installer
will automatically detect and possibly assign the default drive letter C to the USC temporary
storage device OEMDRV. Creating a new Windows-bootable system partition on the hard
drive will assign the partition to a drive letter other than C; this is standard Windows
installer behaviour. To assign the new partition to C, see "Assign a Windows-Bootable
System Partition to the C: Drive".
Assign a Windows-Bootable System Partition to the C: Drive
After you have completed the USC or USC - LCE portion of Windows Server
2003 installation, your server will reboot and begin the text-mode portion of the
installation. During this phase, you may need to perform the following steps to
ensure Windows installs to your C: drive.
NOTE:
Following these instructions after Windows Server 2003 setup presents
you with a list of existing drive partitions and/or unpartitioned space available on
your computer.
1 Select the unpartitioned space, and then press <c> to create a hard-disk
partition. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a partition.
NOTE:
The partition may not be enumerated as a C: drive.
2 Select the newly-created partition, and then press <d> to delete the partition.
Follow the on-screen instructions to delete the partition.
3 Select the unpartitioned space again, and then press <c> to create a primary
hard-disk partition.
NOTE:
The partition will now be enumerated as C: drive.
4 Follow the on-screen instructions to create a partition. Windows will now
install on the C: drive.
