    The minimum specs for Windows Home Server are the following:

  • Computer with 1 GHz Pentium III (or equivalent) or faster processor
  • 512 MB RAM or more
  • 70 GB or larger ATA, SATA, or SCSI hard drive as the primary hard drive and any number of additional hard drives of any size
  • DVD drive, your home server must be capable of booting from this drive
  • VGA or higher-resolution monitor for software installation
  • Keyboard and Microsoft® Mouse or compatible pointing device (needed only during initial home server installation)
  • 100 Mbps or faster Ethernet network interface card

  • A 5GB drive is not big enough and there is no work around. The install must create both a system partition and a data drive. 

    Thank you
