addition, due to the nature of accessing protected areas of the hard drive, only
administrators can create the ISO. These files and directories are included on the
recovery CD:
v minint
v preboot
v win51
v win51ip
v win51ip.sp2
Note: If you create a new ISO image, you must have at least 400 MB of free space
available on the system drive in order to copy the directory trees and build the
ISO. Moving this much data around is a hard disk drive-intensive task, and might
take fifteen or more minutes on some computers.
Creating the recovery ISO file and burning to a CD sample script
file
To create the recovery ISO file and burn it to a CD sample script file, prepare the
following code.
:: Make an ISO file here - ISO will reside in c:\SWTOOLS\rrcd
Note: The following seven lines of code (in bold font) are needed only if the
system is not rebooted after install.
:: Set up the environment
set PATH=%PATH%;%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\Python24
set PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.PYW;.PYO;.PYC;.PY
set TCL_LIBRARY=%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\Python24

set TK_LIBRARY=%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\Python24
\tcl\tk8.4
set PYTHONCASEOK=1
set RR=c:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\
set PYTHONPATH=C:\Program files\Common Files\Lenovo\logger
:: The next line will create the ISO silently and not burn it
c:\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\Python24\python c:\Program Files\
\Common Files\Lenovo\spi\mkspiim.pyc /scripted
:: The next line will create the ISO with user interaction and not burn it

Scenario 3 - Installing with WIM files and Windows 7
Windows 7 deployment is based on disk imaging with ImageX. ImageX utilizes file
based imaging with WIM files instead of sector-based image formats. Considering
this formatting development, use the following steps when installing and
deploying the Rescue and Recovery program on Windows 7:
1. Boot to Windows PE 2.0
2. Launch Diskpart
3. Select Disk
4. Clean Disk
5. Create desired primary partition of size desired
6. Make the partition active
