### Install to Disk
After you boot RancherOS from ISO, you can follow the instructions [here]({{< baseurl >}}/os/v1.x/en/installation/running-rancheros/server/install-to-disk/) to install RancherOS to a hard disk.
### Persisting State
If you are running from the ISO, RancherOS will be running from memory. All downloaded Docker images, for example, will be stored in a ramdisk and will be lost after the server is rebooted. You can
create a file system with the label `RANCHER_STATE` to instruct RancherOS to use that partition to store state. Suppose you have a disk partition on the server called `/dev/sda`, the following command formats that partition and labels it `RANCHER_STATE`
```
$ sudo mkfs.ext4 -L RANCHER_STATE /dev/sda
# Reboot afterwards in order for the changes to start being saved.
$ sudo reboot
```
After you reboot, the server RancherOS will use `/dev/sda` as the state partition.
> **Note:** If you are installing RancherOS to disk, you do not need to run this command.
