Installation
Prior
to
installing
Rescue
and
Recovery,
you
can
customize
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
XML
file
for
your
enterprise
and
then
deploy
it
to
client
systems.
The
XML
file
packaged
with
Rescue
and
Recovery
is
named
rnrdeploy.xml.
Once
the
XML
file
is
customized
and
installed,
settings
for
Rescue
and
Recovery
are
managed
with
the
registry
or
Active
Directory.
For
more
information,
see
the
accompanying
XML/ADM
Supplement
for
the
deployment
guide
located
on
the
ThinkVantage
Technologies
Administrator
Tools
page:
Installation
considerations
Rescue
and
Recovery
has
two
main
interfaces.
The
primary
interface
operates
in
the
Windows
XP,
Windows
2000
or
Windows
Vista
™
environment.
The
secondary
interface
(the
Rescue
and
Recovery
Predesktop
Area)
operates
independently
of
either
Windows
XP
or
Windows
2000
operating
system,
in
the
Windows
PE
environment.
Notes:
1.
Rescue
and
Recovery
only
works
with
the
non-BIOS
version
of
Computrace
if
Rescue
and
Recovery
is
installed
first,
and
then
Computrace
is
installed.
2.
If
you
attempt
to
install
Storage
Management
Subsystem
on
a
computer
with
Rescue
and
Recovery
installed
with
the
Windows
PE
area
already
installed
as
a
virtual
partition,
then
Storage
Management
Subsystem
will
not
install.
Both
Windows
PE
and
Storage
Management
Subsystem
use
the
C:\minint
directory
for
its
file
system.
The
way
to
have
both
installed
at
the
same
time
is
to
install
Rescue
and
Recovery
4.2
as
a
type
12
partition.
See
for
instructions.
3.
A
possible
security
risk
may
be
created
when
the
Microsoft
Recovery
Console
is
installed
on
a
system
with
Rescue
and
Recovery.
Microsoft
Recovery
Console
looks
for
all
folders
with
the
path
C:\*\system32\config\
and
if
it
finds
that
path
it
assumes
it
is
an
operating
system.
If
the
registry
entries
that
require
a
Windows
password
are
not
present,
then
recovery
console
will
allow
a
user
to
choose
the
operating
system
and
then
gain
access
to
the
entire
hard
drive
without
needing
to
enter
a
password.
4.
If
you
are
using
Microsoft
Vista
make
sure
you
have
an
adequate
amount
of
free
space
on
your
local
drive.
This
space
is
needed
for
Rescue
and
Recovery
to
create
a
shadow
copy
of
the
partition
so
it
can
back
up
locked
files.
Overinstall
considerations
A
new
backup
must
be
taken
after
installation
of
Rescue
and
Recovery
4.2
because
old
backups
from
previous
versions
will
be
deleted
during
installation.
This
backup
can
be
done
by
using
either
a
script
or
the
user
interface.
Notes:
1.
If
installing
Rescue
and
Recovery
4.2
over
versions,
1.0,
2.0,
or
3.0
you
will
have
to
take
a
backup
first.
If
you
are
installing
Rescue
and
Recovery
4.2
over
version
3.1
you
don’t
need
to
take
a
backup,
but
it
is
recommended.
2.
Backup
files
captured
by
previous
versions
of
Rescue
and
Recovery
1.0,
2.0,
and
3.0
cannot
be
recovered
by
Rescue
and
Recovery
4.2.
