Imaging Drives<br />

Before imaging a drive, you must boot to a startup disk other than the target drive. Some of the most<br />

common options for booting to a different startup disk are:<br />

• <br />

NetBoot/NetInstall67<br />

A USB or FireWire drive<br />

A Restore partition<br />

• <br />

The <strong>JAMF</strong> <strong>Software</strong> Resource Kit includes a utility called the <strong>Casper</strong> NetInstall Creator. This utility creates a<br />

NetInstall image that has <strong>Casper</strong> Imaging automatically configured for you.<br />

A Restore partition is a hidden partition configured to open <strong>Casper</strong> Imaging and automatically re-image a<br />

computer without intervention.<br />

Imaging a drive for the first time automatically acquires the computer.<br />

This section explains how to:<br />
