Script language Result
X:\PQ\PQIMGCTR Creates the image program.
/CMD=X:\PQ\RRDEPLY.TXT Creates the PowerQuest script file.
/MBR=1 Restores the Rescue and Recovery Boot
Manager.
/IMG=X:\IMAGE.PQI Creates the image file.
Using WIM files, ImageX and Windows Vista
Windows Vista 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 scenario in “Scenario 6 -
Installing with WIM files and Windows Vista” on page 85 when installing and
deploying Rescue and Recovery on Windows Vista.
Using Symantec Ghost-based tools with Rescue and Recovery
When you create the Ghost image, you must use the command line switch -ib to
capture the Rescue and Recovery Boot Manager. Also, the image must capture the
whole disk and all partitions. Refer to the documentation provided by Symantec
for specific details on Ghost.
Rescue and Recovery environmental variables
The following table contains environmental variables which are created when
Rescue and Recovery is installed. These variables can be used when creating
scripts or when changing to a desired directory from a command prompt. For
example, to change to the Rescue and Recovery folder from a command prompt,
type “CD %rr%” and press enter.
Table 8.
Environmental variable Directory
%rr% c:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery
%SWSHARE% c:\Program Files\Lenovo
%TVTCOMMON% c:\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo
Note: For a complete list of variables, run the ’set’ command on a computer that
has Rescue and Recovery installed.
Compatibility with Vista Bitlocker
To achieve compatibility with Bitlocker, Rescue and Recovery needs to be installed
after the partitions are properly set up. When setting up the Bitlocker partition the
recommended way to do so is to use the tool from Microsoft called the Bitlocker
Driver Preparation Tool. The boot partition that is created should be at least 2GB in
size.
To install Vista Bitlocker without using this tool, you must have two partitions on
your system when installing Vista. One should be 2GB and marked active; this is
where the boot files reside. The other will be where your OS is installed and where
your data will reside. When Vista is installed, it will detect this and should install
only the boot files to the smaller partition. Both partitions should be type 0x07.
