Info

As a safety mechanism, drives that contain multiple pre-configured partitions are not repartitioned; however, secondary partitions can be set up to re-image the partition if it already exists. Restore Partitions Restore partitions are hidden partitions that allow you to re-image a computer using less network overhead. These partitions function as an alternative to NetBoot or USB/FireWire drives. In lab environments, Restore partitions allow for fully automated re-imaging of computers. They can also cache packages and scripts locally to reduce the stress on your distribution points. 254
