Any error messages that occur are displayed behind this icon, for
example if the hard disk was not formatted in the required "NTFS"
format.
The first partition should be at least 25 GB. The operating system must be installed on this
partition. You can use the rest of the hard disk as a data partition. Both partitions must be
installed as the NTFS file system.
When shipped, the partitions are set up as follows:
Partition Operating system
Name
Size
File system
First
Windows 7
SYSTEM
25 GB
NTFS not compressed
Second
Windows 7
DATA
Remainder NTFS not compressed
Following a required reboot, Windows will be installed on the hard disk. This process takes
at least 20 minutes.
