setup:
Option
1
This
scenario
covers
new
image
deployments
that
include
Rescue
and
Recovery.
If
deploying
Rescue
and
Recovery
to
existing
OEM
clients
that
contain
OEM
product
recovery
code,
run
the
following
test
to
determine
if
the
OEM
product
recovery
code
interferes
with
Rescue
and
Recovery:
1.
Set
up
a
test
client
with
the
image
that
contains
the
OEM
product
recovery
code.
2.
Install
Rescue
and
Recovery.
If
eight
free
sectors
in
the
Master
Boot
Record
(MBR)
do
not
exist
as
a
result
of
the
OEM
product
recovery
code,
you
will
see
the
following
error
message:
Error
1722.
There
is
a
problem
with
this
Windows
Installer
package.
A
program
run
as
part
of
the
setup
did
not
finish
as
expected.
Contact
your
personnel
or
package
vendor.
If
you
are
using
an
OEM
image
for
the
base
operating
system,
ensure
that
the
Master
Boot
Record
does
not
contain
the
product
recovery
data.
You
can
do
this
in
the
following
way:
Attention:
Running
the
following
command
will
erase
the
entire
contents
of
the
target
hard
disk
drive.
After
running,
you
will
be
unable
to
recover
any
data
from
the
target
hard
disk
drive.
1.
Use
the
cleandrv.exe
available
from
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
at:
to
ensure
all
sectors
are
cleared
from
the
Master
Boot
Record
on
the
hard
disk
drive
that
you
plan
to
use
to
create
your
base
image.
2.
Package
the
image
according
to
your
procedures
for
deployment.
Best
practices
for
hard
drive
setup:
Option
2
Deploying
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
program
on
existing
clients
requires
some
effort
and
planning.
This
scenario
provides
another
option
for
a
hard
drive
setup.
Note:
If
you
receive
Error
1722
and
need
to
create
eight
free
sectors,
call
the
Lenovo
help
desk
to
report
the
error
and
obtain
further
instructions.
Creating
a
bootable
Rescue
and
Recovery
CD
Rescue
and
Recovery
builds
and
burns
the
rescue
media
CD
from
the
current
service
area
contents,
rather
than
from
a
pre-assembled
ISO
image.
However,
if
an
appropriate
ISO
(.iso)
image
is
already
present,
because
it
was
preloaded
or
because
it
had
been
built
before,
that
image
will
be
used
to
burn
the
CD,
rather
than
to
create
a
new
one.
Because
of
the
resources
involved,
only
one
instance
of
the
CD
burning
application
may
be
running
at
any
given
time.
If
it
is
running,
attempting
to
start
a
second
instance
will
produce
an
error
message
and
the
second
instance
will
abort.
In
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:
