If you are installing Windows 2000 on the same partition where an operating system is already

If you already have your hard disks partitioned the way that you want, select the partition on which to
install Windows 2000 and proceed to step 12.
Otherwise, you need to create the partition first by selecting the hard disk and then selecting the
Create Partition option. If you do not want to allocate the entire disk to the Windows 2000 Server,
enter the appropriate partition size. Make certain that the partition that you create is large enough for
the Windows 2000 Server and any other applications such as MSDE, SQL, Exchange, and so forth,
that you want to install on the same partition. 10 GB is usually sufficient for a Windows 2000 Server
partition.

Windows 2000 Server installation by using the Hard Disk Manager tool in the Computer Management
Management Console (MMC). See your Windows 2000 Server documentation or the online help for
more information on this subject.
