• Scenario 7: Installing Rescue and Recovery version 4 on a Windows Vista computer that has a Smart
Image installed. The service partition is at the front of the hard disk drive (SERVICEV002). 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.
• Scenario 8: Installing Rescue and Recovery version 4 on a Windows 7 computer that has a Smart Image
installed. The service partition is at the front of the hard disk drive (SERVICEV003). 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.
Security dependencies
The ImageUltra Builder program is able to use the device-driver modules from the HPA during deployment
if a driver map is not used. However, in order to do so, the HPA security settings in the target computer
BIOS settings must be set to either High security or Medium security. If the security setting is set to
Security disabled, the ImageUltra Builder program does not attempt to use the device-driver modules
from the HPA; instead, it will check to see if a service partition exists and attempt to use the device-driver
modules from the service partition.
On computers that are not HPA-enabled, there are no corresponding BIOS security settings. If a Smart
Image is deployed without a driver map, the ImageUltra Builder program always attempts to use the device
drivers from the service partition.
Staging-area logic
Because various conditions might exist on different target computers, the ImageUltra Builder program
uses built-in logic to ensure that a common Smart Image can be used across a wide range of computers.
Varying conditions include:
• Support or the lack of support for an HPA in the BIOS
• The presence or absence of an HPA
• The presence or absence of a service partition
The following table shows how the deployment behavior changes on a Lenovo branded computer based on
conditions that exist before the image is deployed.
Notes:
1. The use of driver maps and the use of device driver modules from either the service partition or HPA
is limited to Portable-Sysprep Images and Ultra-Portable Images.
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.
