When

using

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

on

a

non-Lenovo

branded

computer,

the

presence

or

absence

of

a

pre-existing

service

partition

affects

what

takes

place

during

deployment.

A

service

partition

on

a

non-Lenovo

branded

computer

is

typically

the

result

of

a

previous

deployment

of

a

Smart

Image

using

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

or

the

installation

of

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

retail

product.

If

a

Smart

Image

is

deployed

to

a

non-Lenovo

branded

computer,

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

product

and

any

backup

files

stored

locally

on

the

primary

hard

disk

will

be

lost.

The

following

table

shows

how

the

deployment

behavior

changes

on

a

non-Lenovo

branded

computer

based

on

the

conditions

that

exist

before

an

image

is

deployed.

Notes:

1.

On

non-Lenovo

branded

computers,

the

use

of

driver

maps

and

the

sourcing

of

device-driver

modules

from

an

existing

service

partition

is

limited

to

Portable-Sysprep

Images

and

Ultra-Portable

Images

that

use

an

I386

or

Windows

Vista

base

operating-system

module.

2.

You

also

can

use

the

following

table

to

determine

the

behavior

for

a

direct-network

install

that

specifies

the

use

of

a

service

partition

for

console-side

recovery

purposes.
