Deployment Solution

Hi,

I have created a Bootworks Hidden Partition of 4 GB by using the USB bootable MS-DOS automation.
I copied a Windows XP image into that partition.
Then, I used the hidden partition to deploy the Window XP image into the same computer using the locally stored copy of the image (c:\image.img).
It worked. However, when I opened the Disk management in the production Windows XP, I can see that the hard disk partitions as follows:
1. Windows XP (system) partition - 49 GB
2. Bootworks hidden (non-DOS) partition 4 GB
3. unused space 21GB ??

Have I done anything wrong?
I wanted to have only two partitions:
one 70 GB for Windows
and
one 4 GB for Bootworks.

Why the Hidden partition is in the middle? Is there a way to configure the Bootworks partition to be in the beggining or in the end of the hard drive, so the Windows can take and use the whole remaining space?

Thanks,
Peter

it might be that the hidden partition will install to the first consecutive space that you need. In this case its 4 gig. Try wiping the drive, install your hidden partition, boot to hidden partition and use rdeploy to lay the image down to the drive.

See if that changes anything.
