If you want to install Windows NT 4.0 on a volume that has been mirrored using
"Disk Management", you must invalidate the mirror before re-installing the system on
a basic disk, and reconfigure the mirror after the installation has completed.
-
Management of a mirror volume can be performed from "Disk Management" under
"Computer Management".
NOTE: Management of a mirrored volume is performed from the [Fault
Tolerance] menu of Disk Administrator.

If you want to create a Backup Domain Controller of Primary Domain Controller that
has exceeded the router, do not use Express Setup and perform manual setup.
Specifying Partition Size
The minimally required size for the partition to install the system can be calculated from the
following expression:
200MB + Paging File Size + Dump File Size
200MB = The size necessary for installing the system
Paging File Size (Recommended) = Mounted Memory Size + 12MB
Dump File Size = Mounted Memory Size + 12MB
IMPORTANT: The above paging file size is the least required size for
collecting debug information (memory dump).
Specify the value larger than the "Recommended" value. If the default paging file size is
specified smaller than the "Recommended" value, complete debug information (memory dump)
may not be collected.
For example, if the mounted memory size is 512MB, the minimally required partition size can be
calculated as follows:
200MB + (512MB + 12MB) + (512MB +12MB) = 1248MB
