Rescue Mode installation System (Rescure installed systems)

Select this option to fix some problems with red Hat enterprise systems that have been installed but are not booting properly, although Red Hat Enterprise is a very stable computer platform, but occasionally there is an issue that is not bootable. The rescue environment allows you to fix a large number of such problems.

booting with local drives (boot from local drive)

Memory test (RAM test)

This is the pre-installation of RAM detection, not part of the installation options.

The first option removes all partitions, and the system automatically creates new partitions for you, and the second option replaces the existing Linux system, and if you install a Windows system, you have a Linux system installed that will keep your Windows partition and erase all Linux.
