The
virtual

has
a
link
that
goes
to
the
service
partition
(Restore

If
the
base

uses
the
service
partition
in
the
front:
–
Rescue

Recovery

will
use
the

will
use

v
Network-staging
folder:
The
network
staging
folder
is
a
temporary
staging
area
for
direct-network
installation
only.
A
direct-network
installation
combines
the
deployment
phase
and
installation
phase
into
a
single
operation,
which
in
almost
all
cases
results
in
a
faster
overall
deployment/installation
cycle.
Speed
is
affected
by
the
amount
of
network
traffic
and
certain
map
settings.
During
the
deployment
phase,
a
unique
network
staging-folder
is
created
on
the
network
for
the
target
computer.
The
person
controlling
the
direct-network
installation
(typically
an
IT
professional)
first
selects
the
base
map
and
driver
map.
Then,
only
those
modules
required
to
control
the
installation
of
the
selected
maps
are
obtained
from
the
repository
and
unpacked
into
the
network-staging
folder.
When
the
required
modules
are
unpacked,
the
person
controlling
the
installation
makes
selections
from
the
installation
menu
system
to
define
the
specific
image
required
for
the
target
computer.
When
the
image
is
defined,
installation
to
the
target
computer
automatically
begins.
All
modules
that
are
required
to
create
the
image
content
are
obtained
from
the
repository,
unpacked
dynamically
to
the
C
partition
of
the
target
computer,
and
run
through
a
series
of
setup
programs
to
create
the
image
on
the
target
computer.
When
the
installation
is
complete,
the
network-staging
folder
is
deleted
from
the
network.
Depending
on
the
settings
in
the
base
map
being
used,
any
of
the
following
actions
can
occur
at
the
end
of
the
installation
process:
–
Pre-existing
recovery
files
in
the
service
partition
can
be
updated
to
contain
the
complete
Smart
Image,
thereby
providing
console-side
recovery
for
any
image
contained
within
the
Smart
Image.
–
Pre-existing
recovery
files
in
the
service
partition
can
be
updated
to
contain
the
maps
and
modules
required
to
recreate
the
installed
image
only,
thereby
providing
console-side
recovery
for
the
installed
image
only.
–
Pre-existing
recovery
files
in
the
service
partition
can
be
deleted,
thereby
eliminating
console-side
recovery.
