Running Custom Setup

1 When the Windows Licensing Agreement window appears, read the

information carefully.

If you agree with all the information, press <F8> to continue. A window
appears, displaying the existing partitions and unpartitioned space on your
system’s hard drive.

If you do not agree with the information, press <Esc>. Your system
restarts, and Windows is not installed on your system.

NOTE:

If your hard drive is configured with a Windows partition, you may

receive an option to repair the partition. Press <Esc> to continue with your
new operating system installation.

2 Select an available partition to install the operating system and press

<Enter>.

NOTE:

It is recommended that you create a 12-GB partition at a minimum.

3 Select the appropriate file system for the Windows partition, and then

press <Enter>.

NOTE:

For maximum security, it is recommended that you format the partition

using NTFS.

Windows Setup formats your partition with the selected file system and
copies the operating system files to your system.

NOTE:

This process may take a few minutes to complete.
