an existing service partition. This version contains a BIOS check to verify that the computer it is
being installed on is in fact a Lenovo branded computer. You can download the installable files from
.
• A retail version with per-seat licenses for non-Lenovo branded computers: This version is functionally
identical to the Web-downloadable version except it does not contain the BIOS check. Therefore, it can
be installed on practically any personal computer. For information about purchasing the retail version,
contact your Lenovo Marketing representative.
• A preinstalled version on many new ThinkPad and ThinkCentre computers: This version uses a physical
service partition for many of the recovery and diagnostic tools as well as Windows-based files for the
Rapid Restore backup tool and recovery CD creation tools. Do not attempt to import and use Rescue and
Recovery modules from the service partition of a new ThinkPad or ThinkCentre computers. Instead, use
the Web downloadable version or the retail version.
This version of the ImageUltra Builder program does not support importing the modules associated with the
ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery product that comes preinstalled on select Lenovo-branded personal
computers. You must create your own modules using either the Web-downloadable version (for use with
Lenovo-branded computers only) or the retail version (for use with Lenovo branded computers and other
computer brands) of the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery product. The Web-downloadable version is
available from the Lenovo Web site at:
Notes:
1. If you intend to create an image that includes either the Web-downloadable version or retail version of
the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery product, you must define a custom service partition size that
leaves a fixed buffer of at least 500 MB through the Partitions tab of the Base Map settings.
2. By default, the Web-downloadable version and retail version of the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery
product does not create a physical service partition as part of its installation process; instead it creates a
virtual service partition on the C drive. However, when installed under the control of the ImageUltra
Builder program, these versions of the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery product detect the presence
of the physical service partition created by the ImageUltra Builder program, and install themselves in the
physical service partition. If you install the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery product as part of a
Smart Image, do not use the Delete all setting in the Image Cleanup tab of your base map.
3. The ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery product can not be preinstalled on the donor system before
creating a portable Sysprep image. It must be installed as a separate application module.
4. If the base map uses the service partition in the back:
• Rescue and Recovery for Windows XP will use the service partition.
• Rescue and Recovery for Windows Vista or Windows 7 will use the virtual partition.

5. If the base map uses the service partition in the front:
• Rescue and Recovery for Windows Vista or Windows 7 will use the service partition.
• Rescue and Recovery for Windows XP will use the virtual partition.
