Windows Server 2008 may be installed using a number of different approaches. One such approach involves installing a entirely new instance of the operating system on a disk or partition such that any previously previous operating system installation and associated data is are destroyed. Another option is to perform an upgrade of an existing Windows installation such that user data, settings and applications are retained. In addition, the installation may be performed interactively where the user is required to respond to prompts during the installation, or unattended where pre-configured responds responses are supplied by an ''answer'' file.
The topic of this chapter is the clean, interactive installation of Windows Server 2008. The subject of upgrades is covered in the following chapter entitled [[Performing a Windows Server 2008 Upgrade]].
