8.5 Steps of the Master Image Creator wizard

This section describes the steps of the Master Image Creator wizard in the order that they appear.

Use the Next and Back buttons to go between steps.

8.5.1 Disks or volumes to image

Select the disks or volumes that you want to include in the master image.

You can select any set of disks and volumes. The master boot record (MBR) will be also included in

the image.

Important: An operating system includes a loader: a small program that loads the main part of the operating

system. The loader and the rest of the operating system may reside on different volumes. For example,

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 place the loader on a hidden volume called System Reserved. If your

operating system and its loader reside on different volumes, always include both volumes in the image. A

volume with the loader is usually marked as the active volume and is shown with the Act. flag in the list. The

volumes must also be deployed together; otherwise, there is a high risk that the operating system will not start.
