In this case, you are
performing a clean install, so you should select Custom (Advanced). You??™ll
notice that you can??™t select Upgrade unless you initiated the setup from an
existing Windows Server installation (Figure 1-6).
7. If your hard drive is automatically detected, you can create and format a
partition as necessary for the installation. If your drive isn??™t detected, most
likely the device driver for your controller isn??™t built into Windows, in which
case you can click Load Driver (at the bottom-left of the screen) to load it.
Click Next after you have created the partition to which you are going to install
(Figure 1-7).
8. Now that Windows Server 2008 has all the basic information it needs to
proceed with the installation, it begins the installation process and displays the
status of the install, as shown in Figure 1-8. This is where setup significantly
differs from previous Windows Server builds, as you will not be prompted for
any further details until the installation is complete and Windows fully starts
up. This is a great enhancement, since you can walk away from the server
while the installation proceeds without having to worry about additional
dialog boxes asking for further information to complete the install.
