The

Rescue

and

Recovery

tools

reside

in

two

locations:

v

On

the

Windows

side

(C

partition)

are

a

set

of

tools

that

enable

a

user

to

create

backups,

rescue

media,

and

recovery

media.

v

In

a

Windows

PE-based

partition

is

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

workspace,

an

environment

that

runs

independently

of

the

Windows

operating

system

and

is

hidden

from

the

Windows

operating

system.

Because

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

workspace

is

hidden,

it

is

immune

from

most

types

of

virus

attacks

and

provides

a

safe

place

from

which

to

perform

rescue

and

recovery

operations

that

might

not

be

possible

in

the

Windows

environment.

The

factory-installed

version

of

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

product

uses

a

service

partition.

The

user-installable

versions

of

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

product

typically

installs

in

and

uses

a

virtual

partition.

However,

if

the

user-installable

versions

of

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

products

detect

a

preexisting

Windows

PE-based

service

partition

with

at

least

500MB

of

free

space

during

the

installation,

it

will

install

in

and

use

the

service

partition.

Impacts

As

of

the

publishing

of

this

book,

there

are

four

versions

of

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

program:

v

Rescue

and

Recovery

with

Rapid

Restore

(referred

to

as

Rescue

and

Recovery

version

1)

v

Rescue

and

Recovery

-

Rapid

Restore

(referred

to

as

Rescue

and

Recovery

version

2)

v

Rescue

and

Recovery

3

(referred

to

as

Rescue

and

Recovery

version

3)

v

Rescue

and

Recovery

4

(referred

to

as

Rescue

and

Recovery

version

4)

Because

of

the

variations

among

these

versions,

the

relationship

between

each

version

and

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

vary.

The

following

scenarios

are

provided

to

help

you

understand

the

relationship

between

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

and

the

various

versions

of

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

product.

v

Scenario

1:

Installing

Rescue

and

Recovery

version

3

on

a

computer

that

has

a

Smart

Image

installed.

In

this

scenario,

if

a

service

partition

already

exists,

the

content

of

the

service

partition

will

remain

mostly

unchanged.

The

name

of

the

ThinkVantage

ImageUltra

Builder

workspace

will

change

to

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

workspace

and

the

list

of

menu

items

might

be

extended

to

provide

more

recovery

options.

If

a

service

partition

does

not

already

exist,

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

version

3

program

will

be

installed

in

a

virtual

partition.

Additionally,

whether

or

not

a

service

partition

already

exists,

several

additional

Rescue

and

Recovery

tools

will

be

installed

on

the

C

partition

and

added

to

the

Windows

Start

menu.
