**********************************************************************
The software is time-sensitive and will stop functioning in 180 days.
The software will notify you one hour before it stops functioning,
after which you must uninstall the software and destroy all copies.
Data used with the software may not be accessible after that time.
You should back up your data regularly. For any updated information
about this, see article 829967, "Release notes for the preliminary
release of Windows(R) Code Name 'Longhorn,'" in the Microsoft(R)
Knowledge Base.
======================================================================
How to Use these Notes
======================================================================
This document contains important preinstallation information and links
to other information about this preliminary release of Longhorn.
The information in this document applies to the following products:
* For x86-based systems
Preliminary Release of Microsoft Windows Code Name "Longhorn"
* For 64-bit extended systems
Preliminary Release of Microsoft Windows Code Name "Longhorn"
for 64-Bit Extended Systems
For detailed instructions on how to install this product, see Setup
on the installation DVD.
=====================================================================
1.0 File System
=====================================================================
1.1 Offline files
=================
The RAM memory cache is not maintained during the installation of
this preliminary release of Longhorn. If you have any information
stored in the memory cache that you would like to keep, be sure to
save this information on a server share or on removable storage media
before you install this preliminary release of Longhorn.
======================================================================
2.0 Important Information about Setup
======================================================================
2.1 Computer configurations for installation
============================================
You can install Longhorn onto a computer that meets the following
requirements:
* The version of Longhorn for x86-based systems requires a partition
that must have 6 gigabytes (GB) of free space and 256 megabytes (MB)
of RAM. If the video card is sharing system RAM with only 256 MB,
Setup will not be able to complete this installation.
* The version of Longhorn for 64-bit extended systems requires a
partition that must have 6 GB of free space and 512 MB of RAM. If the
video card is sharing system RAM with only 512 MB, Setup will not be
able to complete this installation.
* You are not installing this preliminary release of Longhorn on a
hidden partition or a partition reserved for use by your OEM.
* The drive on which you want to install Longhorn is not a dynamic
disk.
2.2 Install Longhorn on clean partitions only
=============================================
You can perform only a clean installation of this preliminary release
of Longhorn. You cannot upgrade your computer to this release. You can
start a clean installation of Longhorn from the installation DVD while
you are running Windows XP, a Microsoft Windows Server?2003 operating
system, or Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1. To perform a clean
installation,be sure to format the target partition as NTFS before you
start the installation. If you have no operating system installed or
you are running an operating system other than Windows XP with Service
Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003, start the computer from the installation
DVD and perform a clean installation. You can format the partition as
NTFS during Setup.
You will be unable to install on FAT and FAT32 partitions. Although
you cannot choose a format other than NTFS during the installation, if
you install this preliminary release of Longhorn on a drive or partition
that was previously formatted as FAT, you must reformat the drive to
NTFS before you install Longhorn.
We recommend that you start Setup from the Longhorn installation DVD.
From the Setup Wizard, enter the product key, read and agree to the
License Terms for Microsoft Software, and click Clean installation. To
format the partition, on the Where to install Windows wizard page,
choose the partition you want to format and click Format. Then install
Longhorn.
Caution:
Be sure to back up any information that you want to keep before you
reformat the partition on which you intend to install this preliminary
release of Longhorn. When you reformat a partition, all data contained
on that partition is deleted.
2.3 Installing to drives other than drive C
===========================================
By default, the installation partition is assigned the drive letter C
when the installation starts. If you attempt to install Longhorn to
drives other than drive C, the drive you choose will become drive C
when you restart the computer. For example, if during Setup, you choose
to install to drive D, after Setup is complete and you attempt to start
Longhorn, drive D will appear as drive C. This will not be a problem if
you already have an operating system on drive C. When the original
operating system is started, it will remain on drive C. Both operating
systems will appear as if they are on drive C even though they are not.
If you want to specify a different drive letter for this preliminary
release of Longhorn, you can do an unattended installation with the
following parameter:
assign = X:
X is the drive on which you want to install the Longhorn operating
system.
2.4 Installing to the same partition as an existing Windows operating
system
======================================================================
This section refers to Longhorn for 64-bit systems
We recommend that you install Longhorn for 64-bit systems only on a
clean partition or computer. However, if you attempt to install it to
the same partition as an existing Windows installation, Setup will
first warn you of the conflict and allow you to choose a new location.
If you choose to proceed, Setup will rename the existing Windows folders
to Windows.000, Documents and Settings.000 and Program Files.000. You
will not be able to start this renamed operating system.
2.5 Setup installs to the Windows directory only
================================================
Setup installs this preliminary release of Longhorn in the Windows
directory only. You are not given the option to specify the directory
name where Longhorn is installed.
2.6 Joining a domain
====================
The Longhorn Setup Wizard does not give you the option to join a domain.
If you want to join a domain, you can do one of the following:
* Install Longhorn using Unattend.xml. You can find Unattend.xml in
the Docs folder of your Longhorn installation DVD.
* Join a domain just as you would join a domain for Windows XP after
Setup has completed. To do this, open Control Panel, click User Accounts,
and then click Start the Network Identification Wizard.
2.7 MS-DOS and Longhorn
=======================
There is no longer a 16-bit MS-DOS installer available to install Longhorn.
This means you can no longer start the installation by using the command
Winnt.exe.
2.8 No F6 support for adding third-party mass-storage devices during Setup
=======================================================================
When you are installing this preliminary release of Longhorn on a new
computer or on a computer that has the latest SCSI or IDE controller
technology, if your mass storage device requires an OEM device driver
that is not included in the box, it will not be possible to install
Longhorn. This is because the option to add third-party drivers by
pressing F6 during Setup is not available for this release. In previous
versions of Windows, the F6 option was provided as a means to install OEM
drivers for mass storage controllers. There is no workaround for this
issue for this preliminary release.
2.9 DVD installations of Longhorn for x64-bit systems stops responding
=======================================================================
If you start Setup of Longhorn for x64-bit systems from the DVD, Setup
may appear to have stopped responding and the DVD drive light will flash
for up to 10 minutes when first started. This does not mean that there
are any problems with the installation. After Setup has started, it will
proceed normally.
=======================================================================
3.0 Automatic Updates
=======================================================================
The Automatic Updates feature, which helps keep your computer current
with critical updates, is not supported in this preliminary release
of Longhorn.
=======================================================================
4.0 Windows File Protection
=======================================================================
Windows File Protection has been disabled for this preliminary release
of Longhorn. The SfcGetNextProtectedFile and SfcIsFileProtected APIs
are also not supported in this preliminary release. As a result, Windows
File Protection cannot help protect the critical Windows system files.
======================================================================
