that the target volume number is the same as the volume number
specified with the
/partition
parameter.
/start:<start sector>
Sets the start sector for deploying a volume to the unallocated space
on the hard disk.
/size:
<volume size in
sectors>
Sets the new size of the volume in sectors. The size of a sector is
considered to be 512 bytes, regardless of the physical sector size on
the hard disk drive.
For example, if you want the volume size to be 512 MB (a megabyte is
1 048 576 bytes), specify the size as follows:
/size:1048576
Specify this size even if you are using a hard disk drive with 4-KB
sectors.
To see the size of the volume in the master image, use the /list
command.
/fat16_32
Enables the file system conversion from FAT16 to FAT32 if t
he volume
size after deployment is likely to exceed 2 GB. Without this parameter,
the deployed volume will inherit the file system from the image.
/restore_bootable:<aut
o|on|off>
Sets the rule of deployment for the master boot record (MBR) when
deploying a volume (when deploying a disk, MBR is always deployed):
auto
: Deploy the MBR only when deploying an active volume that
contains an operating system. Use this setting to ensure that the
operating system can boot.
on: Deploy the MBR when deploying any acti
ve volume, no matter
whether the volume contains an operating system or not.
off
: Do not deploy the MBR. Use this setting, for example, to
preserve the Unix boot loader.
/type:<active|primary|
logical>
Sets the deployed volume to active, primary or logical
, if possible (for
example, there cannot be more than four primary volumes on a disk).
Setting a volume to active always sets it to primary, but a volume that
is set to primary may remain non-active.
If the type is not specified, the software tries to keep
the target
volume type. If the target volume is active, the deployed volume is set
to active. If the target volume is primary and there are other primary
volumes on the disk, one of them will be set to active, and the
deployed volume becomes primary. If n
o other primary volumes
remain on the disk, the deployed volume is set to active.
When deploying a volume to unallocated space, the software extracts
the volume type from the image. For a primary volume, the type will
be set as follows:
If the target disk
is the first according to BIOS and it has no other
primary volumes, the deployed volume will be set to active.
If the target disk is the first according to BIOS and there are other
primary volumes on it, the deployed volume will be set to logical
If the ta
rget disk is not the first according to BIOS, the deployed
volume will be set to logical.
