====== Windows Server 2008 boot from SAN ====== ===== Installation ===== Start by installing Windows Server 2008 to a physical disk. It is best to use an external USB, FireWire, or eSATA disk; this will make later stages easier. When installing, use a small partition (around 8GB) rather than the whole disk. At the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen, click on //Drive options (advanced)//: {{ :screenshots:win2k8_setup_create_partition.png?400x300 |Windows Server 2008 setup}} Click on //New// and enter **8192** as the size (in MB), then click on //Apply// to create the partition. You should then see a screen that looks like: {{ :screenshots:win2k8_setup_select_partition.png?400x300 |Windows Server 2008 after partitioning}} Select the newly-created partition, and click on //Next// to install Windows Server 2008 to this partition. The rest of the installation will proceed as normal. ===== Preparation for SAN boot ===== Now you must select whether you will use iSCSI or AoE as your SAN technology: * iSCSI support is built in to Server 2008. If you are booting from iSCSI, you can immediately [[sanboot:transfer|transfer the Windows Server 2008 disk image to your iSCSI target]]. * AoE support must be installed separately. If you are booting from AoE, you must first [[sanboot:winnt_aoe|add AoE boot support to Windows Server 2008]].
