Creating a New System Partition
If you used SmartStart to configure your server and install your operating
system, this procedure (“Creating a New System Partition”) was done
automatically for you. Use this procedure only if the operating system was not
installed on the server and you wish to create a system partition.
1. Insert the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD in the
CD-ROM drive and turn on the server.
IMPORTANT:
The system partition requires about 32 MB of disk space at
the beginning of the hard drive and an unused entry in the boot record.
SmartStart prompts you to overwrite an existing DOS partition on the hard
drive.
2. If the system is configured and there is hard drive space for the system
partition, SmartStart automatically creates the partition and copies
Compaq Utilities from the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software
CD to the partition. This process takes two reboots. Leave the CD in the
drive until the process is complete. The process is complete when the
CD main menu displays.
3. If the system is not configured, select the second or third button on the
SmartStart first screen to configure the system automatically.
4. After the system boots to save the configuration, the Compaq SmartStart
and Support Software CD creates the system partition and copies the
Compaq Utilities to it. This process takes two reboots.
5. Leave the CD in the drive until the process completes. The process is
complete when the CD main menu displays.
