and
to
display
an
icon
on
a
secure
launching
area
called
the
Access
IBM
Predesktop
Area.
Each
Boot
PSA
is
digitally
signed
to
deter
tampering
and
to
deter
viruses.
Each
time
a
Boot
PSA
is
used,
the
signature
is
checked.
Only
those
PSAs
with
valid
signatures
are
permitted
to
boot.
Data
PSAs
contain
all
of
the
files
associated
with
the
application
itself.
Some
ThinkCentre
and
ThinkPad
models,
the
HPA
provides
the
tools
to
diagnose
a
problem
and
recover
from
a
catastrophic
failure
by
restoring
the
contents
of
the
hard
disk
to
a
factory-installed
state.
Access
to
these
tools
is
provided
through
the
IBM
Predesktop
Area.
Recovery
impacts
Because
the
content
of
the
HPA
is
not
affected
by
the
ImageUltra
Builder
deployment
or
installation
processes,
it
is
very
likely
that
you
can
have
multiple
forms
of
recovery
after
a
Smart
Image
has
been
installed
on
a
target
computer
that
has
an
HPA.
The
presence
or
absence
of
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
product
also
has
an
impact
on
recovery
options.
Because
the
tools
within
the
HPA
are
DOS
based
and
the
HPA
is
protected
against
alterations,
when
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program
is
installed
on
a
computer
that
has
an
HPA,
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program
creates
its
own
service
partition
and
installs
a
boot
manager
to
bypass
the
IBM
Predesktop
Area.
When
F11
is
pressed
during
startup,
instead
of
booting
to
the
IBM
Predesktop
Area,
the
computer
boots
to
service
partition
and
opens
the
ThinkVantage
ImageUltra
Builder
workspace.
All
recovery
operations
are
performed
from
the
ThinkVantage
ImageUltra
Builder
workspace.
If
a
user
selects
Restore
your
system
-->
Restore
my
hard
drive
to
the
original
factory
state
from
the
ThinkVantage
ImageUltra
Builder
workspace
menu,
the
ImageUltra
Builder
installation
menu
system
opens,
which
enables
the
user
to
reinstall
the
Smart
Image
instead
of
the
original
factory-installed
image.
Importing
modules
and
maps
from
an
HPA
The
ImageUltra
Builder
program
can
import
modules
and
maps
from
an
HPA
just
like
it
does
from
a
service
partition.
For
more
information
about
importing
modules,
see
Using
drivers
in
an
HPA
Because
the
contents
of
an
HPA
are
preserved
while
a
Smart
Image
is
being
installed,
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program
can
use
the
device
drivers
stored
in
the
HPA
if
a
driver
map
is
not
defined
for
the
Smart
Image.

for
more
information.
