Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 place the loader on a hidden volume called System Reserved. If your
operating system and its loader reside on different volumes, always include both volumes in the image. A
volume with the loader is usually marked as the active volume and is shown with the Act. flag in the list. The
volumes must also be deployed together; otherwise, there is a high risk that the operating system will not start.
Also, machines with UEFI architecture have a special ESP partition (EFI System partition). If you are deploying a
UEFI machine image to another UEFI machine, you should deploy ESP partition as well. Otherwise, the target
machine will be non-bootable after deployment. When deploying a UEFI machine image to a BIOS machine, it is
not necessary to deploy the ESP partition.
