3. Using Boot CD
This step is to turn a Dynamic Partition to Primary with any partition tools programs you
familiar with ‘not for all laptops’ WHY ? Because most of us have one Primary C Partition
which is often Windows 8 / 7 / vista or XP and you simply don’t want Windows Server to be
your primary operating system because it looks like Windows 98.
So we do this step to have 2 operating systems one for fun and the second for being serious,
which will be installed on Two Primary Partitions with recommended 40 G size for each one.
Also you need a 220 G minimum size for a the partition that you will install Oracle R12 on it,
so maybe you have to Resize your partitions.
Install Windows Server
It is available for Free Download so easy, with no serial required. Like any other windows
setup steps except one thing on the beginning of installation you will choose which type of
windows you need. You will choose ‘Enterprise Full Installation’ . Now you ready to go.

5. Setup Windows Loader
To activate your Windows, because I am sure you don’t have 730 $ in your pocket now
and even if you do you will not buy windows server.

27. The game in C partition
This 4 files is our game now …. the game is so simple we will COPY some files ONLY !!!
27
28. From the Make file | usr | bin | gnumake Copy the gnumake to Windows | System32
then Copy it again in VS | VC | bin as you see in the window down there ….
From the Same window Copy cl to Windows | System32 .. Now enough playing for now ..

29. Setup an older version of Firefox
Firefox 14.0 will do Fine
29
30. If you enable Automatic Update there will be installed automatic, But I recommend to
Download this two programs and install them – Next /Next /Finish
NFW 1.1
NFW 4.5
30
37. Don’t do any thing here because this is a vision installation not a real one.
37
38. The first and the second browse, open them and enter the same directory in the screen
if you did as I said, the third one don’t open it Just choose the 220 G Partition.
38
40. Every thing is Just fine, after you click next you will come back after 3 hours
in this time I recommend to see JOBS movie if you didn’t see it
40
42. Sometimes with 32bit a lot of things goes wrong here, you shouldn’t give up and close it don’t
ever, you simply have to start all the services that belong to oracle again and click next, I will
show you how to start and stop a service later ..
42
45. Turn All Oracle Services to Manual
Open RUN window and enter Services.msc then search for Oracle services and open each
one and change the startup type to Manual after this step you should restart.
45
46. Now every time you
open windows server
you must start this 6
services in this ORDER

47. Install Java 6.0.31
It is kind of hard thing to Configure your Ethernet driver but it is not impossible, you can try
Vista drivers even 32/64 bit. but I recommend to use an USB modem or Ethernet USB to
have an internet which is required to setup java 6.0.31 to open EBS forms.
47
49. What about 64bit ?
Two Simple Points :
1- Also Copy gnumake file to Cygwin | bin and Cygwin | Cygdrive
2- Don’t Show the Hidden files in rapidwiz, open it directly.
