About the Hardware Components
When you install the Windows Server 2008, Express Setup requires several preparations if this computer uses the following
hardware components.
Installing on the Mirrored Volume
When re-installing the OS to a hard disk drive which has been upgraded to Dynamic Disk, only the simple dynamic volume is
available for installation.
If you want to install the OS on a volume that is mirrored using Disk Management, invalidate the mirroring and reset to the
basic disk before the installation, and validate the mirroring again after the installation.
You can create, invalidate, or delete the mirror volume by using Disk Management in Computer Management.
Mounting MO Device
Do not mount an MO device on this computer during the Windows installation.
About Removable Media
Do not set removable media, such as DAT, into the device mounted on this computer during the Windows installation.
