Vista considerations
The \minint directory does not exist on the Vista version of Rescue and Recovery.
The new folder in Vista is called \tvtos and the entire preinstallation environment
operating system is contained in a .wim file.
To edit the .wim file, you need to obtain the imagex.exe file in the Microsoft OPK
for Vista.
Working with WIM files and ImageX
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 scenario in “Scenario 4 -
Installing with WIM files and Windows Vista” on page 81 when installing and
deploying Rescue and Recovery on Windows Vista.
Using RRUTIL.EXE
The RRUTIL program is designed to access the Rescue and Recovery service
partition and virtual partition data. This utility will work with both virtual
partitions and type 12 partitions. This utility allows customization of the
Predesktop Area (PDA) by administrators. Only an Administrator user can use this
tool by default.
You can obtain rrutil.exe from the Download Rescue and Recovery and Client
Security Solution Web site located at:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo
&lndocid=TVAN-ADMIN
The RRUTIL program works with the Rescue and Recovery filter driver on virtual
partitions, and mounts type 12 partitions as a drive in order gain access. The
opening of these partitions is only done long enough to perform the requested
commands then closed again.
Note: The RRUTIL program for version 4.21 is not backwards compatible with
earlier versions of Rescue and Recovery.
This program allows administrators to perform the following functions:
v View directories in the Predesktop Area.
v Add or update files in the Predesktop Area.
v Delete files from the Predesktop Area.
v Rename files in the Predesktop Area.
v View the files in \RRbackups directories.
v Add backups to \RRbackups directories.
v Get files from \RRbackups directories.
