Hi, I have recently upgraded the RAM on an x64 2003 Enterprise Server from 10GB to 24GB. My initial plan was to increase to 26GB, however the server would not boot unless the total amount of RAM was less than the available free disk space on the boot volume. Free disk space on the boot volume is 25GB. Has anyone seen this before. Thanks

i assume its either auto configured page file or memory dump settings, check winkey + pause, advanced settings. there at performance you can move the pagefile and under startup and recovery you can change the memory dump settings.

Hi FZB, The pagefle has been limited to 4GB so I dont believe that is the issue. Memory Dump may be it but the only options are full, Mini or None. Is there a way to specify how large the full dump can grow to.

no, there is no option for a partial dump, its either trying a full dump, mini or none. id try mini and see if it is the issue.

Hi , I have installed 2 BG RAM with 1 GB hardisk on Win CE , and i was able to successfuly load the OS . You always have an option not to use page file , and in your scenario i see that you have huge RAM space and i would not see any real time application consuming 26 GB of ram.
