on a partition larger than the minimum required size.

partition will be retained.

You can not re-install the system and preserve an existing partition
that has been upgraded to a Dynamic Disk using Express Setup.
!
If "Create New Partition" is selected at "System Partition", do not
specify a value for the partition larger than the available disk area.
!
If you specify a partition size larger than 2000MB, you must specify
"convert to NTFS".
!
If "Use Existing Partition" at "System Partition" is selected but the
partition selected to install Windows 2000 is the only partition,
except for maintenance, Express Setup will reserve the maximum
area of the hard disk to install Windows 2000.
!
You can not go to the next screen if an incorrect value is specified.
!
If a specified value is inconsistent with values previously specified, it
may be necessary to go back to modify previously specified values.
!
During the Windows 2000 setup, a screen appears to specify the
partition that Windows 2000 is to be installed on. The first 16MB
area displayed on the screen is a maintenance partition that is used to
store the configuration information or utilities unique to the server.
This partition must not be deleted. If you do not want to reserve this
16MB area, you must perform the installation by manual setup.
Express Setup requires the use of this maintenance partition.
