Upgrade to
Windows Server
2008
Inplace upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 is not recommended
because it overwrites the files and registries and might make an unexpected effect on the
system and applications.
If you want to use Windows Server 2008, back up the necessary data before installing
Windows Server 2008.
Tips
Inplace upgrade refers to overwriting an existing OS (in this case, Windows
2003) with another OS (Windows Server 2008).

Using BitLocker If using BitLocker, note the following.
• Before installing an OS, be sure to create the following two partitions in the hard disk drive:
− System partition (to store the loader)
− Boot partition (to store the OS)
Note For details, refer to the following document provided in Microsoft TechNet:
BitLocker Drive Encryption Step-by-Step Guide
• Be sure to keep the recovery password secure.
Do not keep it near a server running
BitLocker.
Important
If the recovery password is not entered, the OS cannot be started, and the
content of the partition encrypted by BitLocker cannot be referenced any
more.
The recovery password might be required at startup of the OS after the
following:
Replacement of motherboard
Initialization of trusted platform module (TPM)
Change of BIOS setting
• To reinstall the operating system into a partition that is encrypted with BitLocker, delete the
BitLocker-encrypted partition prior to reinstallation.
