To perform the installation, complete the following procedure:
1. Leave at least 700 MB of unallocated free space at the end of the drive.
2. Using PowerQuest PQDeploy, restore the SP.pqi file to the unallocated free-space. If you need
additional assistance with PowerQuest PQDeploy, reference documentation from PowerQuest.
3. Delete the primary partitions created in step 1 (except the C drive), and then reboot.
Note: System volume information may be on the newly created service partition. The system volume
information needs to be deleted through Windows System Restore.
4. Install the Rescue and Recovery program and restart when prompted.
Scenario 4 - Installing with WIM files and Windows Vista
Windows Vista deployment is based on disk imaging with ImageX. ImageX utilizes file based imaging
with WIM files instead of sector-based image formats. Considering this formatting development, use the

1. Boot to Windows PE 2.0
2. Launch Diskpart
3. Select Disk
4. Clean Disk
5. Create desired primary partition of size desired
6. Make the partition active
7. Assign the drive letter (C)
8. Exit Diskpart
9. Format disk such as c: /fs:ntfs /q /y /v:WinXP
10. Run bootsect /nt52
11. Run BMGR32.EXE /Fbootmgr.bin /M1 /IBM /THINK
12. Use Imagex.exe to apply your WIM file to C:
13. Reboot
For more information about Windows Vista, WIM files, or ImageX, see the following Web site:
Scenario 5 - Standalone install for CD or script files
For a standalone install for CD or script file, complete the following steps:
1. Use one batch file to silently install Rescue and Recovery.
2. Configure BIOS password recovery silently.

The following example illustrates how the Administrative Template file (.adm) can be used locally and how the
settings can be exported through a registry file and then imported to all intended machines. This example
documents how to hide the Advanced menu in the main user interface.
