Inside
the
batch
file,
you
must
use
the
following
statements:
Gdisk.exe
1
/cre
/pri
/sure
ghost.exe
-clone,mode=pload,src=image.gho:1,
dst=1:1
-auto
-sure
-quiet
-fx
-batch
Where
image.gho
is
the
name
of
your
image.
Before
you
build
the
module,
you
must
put
the
image
files,
the
script
file,
and
the
batch
file
in
the
same
folder.
File
size
and
naming
convention:
It
is
always
a
good
idea
to
limit
the
file
size
to
600MB
so
the
image
can
be
distributed
on
a
set
of
CD’s,
if
necessary.
If
you
are
using
Symantec
Norton
Ghost
version
7.5,
use
the
-cns
parameter
when
creating
the
image
to
ensure
the
file-extension
names
are
compatible
with
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program.
Limitations
of
PowerQuest
DeployCenter
The
ImageUltra
Builder
program
uses
a
service
partition
at
the
end
of
the
hard
disk
to
store
the
Smart
Images.
The
service
partition
is
hidden
and
must
be
protected
during
the
installation
process.
PowerQuest
DeployCenter
has
a
scripting
function
that
allows
for
the
protection
of
partitions.
Before
any
files
are
installed,
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program
deletes
all
partitions
from
the
target
computer
hard
disk
except
for
the
service
partition.
Therefore,
when
creating
scripts,
you
do
not
have
to
include
any
commands
to
delete
partitions.
The
following
is
a
sample
PowerQuest
DeployCenter
script
that
can
be
used
with
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program
to
protect
the
service
partition
and
restore
two
partitions:
SELECT
DRIVE
1
PROTECT
PARTITION
LAST
SELECT
FREESPACE
FIRST
SELECT
IMAGE
1
RESIZE
IMAGE
PROPORTIONAL
SELECT
IMAGE
2
RESIZE
IMAGE

RESTORE
SELECT
PARTITION
1
SET
ACTIVE
SELECT
PARTITION
2
UNHIDE
In
the
sample
script,
two
partitions
are
established:
partition
1
uses
all
available
free
space
and
partition
2
uses
2
GB.
By
default,
when
PowerQuest
DeployCenter
sets
partition
1
as
active,
it
hides
any
remaining
primary
partitions.
Therefore,
the
script
must
“unhide”
any
primary
partitions
that
were
hidden
when
partition
1
was
set
as
active.
The
sample
script
“unhides”
partition
2.
If
a
third
primary
partition
were
being
used,
you
would
add
the
following
lines
to
the
end
of
the
script:
SELECT
DRIVE
1
SELECT
PARTITION
3
UNHIDE
