Hi,

I'll REALLY appreciate it if someone can respond ASAP.

Ok, I am setting up a server right now- Dell SC1430. It is giving me the option to create utility partition. What is that? What's the pros and cons of having and not having it? Should I or not?

To ask a question is to remain a fool for 5 minutes. Not to ask is to remain a fool for life.

First time I am setting up a server!

Hmm.. Dell equipment asking to create a utility partition. Sounds like a good idea to me. When you have time, look into what the utility partition is about. I am sure you can find this info on Dell's web site.

Imagine the power of knowing how to internet search
