/partition:<disk
number>-<volume number>
Specifies the volumes to include into the image file.
Volume numbers are specified as <disk number>-<volume number>, for
example:
/partition:1-1,1-2,3-1
See also the /oss_numbers parameter.
To view the list of available volumes, use the /list command.
/raw
Use this parameter to create an image of a volume with an unrecognized
or unsupported file system, or of a disk that contains such volume.
With this parameter, all contents of the disk or volume will be copied
sector-by-sector.
Without this parameter, only the sectors containing useful system and user
data are imaged (for the supported file systems).
/progress:<on|off>
Shows or hides the progress information (percent completed). The
progress is shown by default.
deploy
/harddisk:<disk number>
Specifies the hard disk in the image.
/partition:<disk
number>-<volume number>
Specifies the volumes in the image.
/target_harddisk:<disk
number>
Specifies the target hard disk.
/target_partition:<volume
number>
Specifies the target volume number for deploying a volume over an
existing one. If this parameter is not specified, the software assumes 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 the volume size
after deployment is likely to exceed 2 GB. Without this parameter, the
deployed volume will inherit the file system from the image.
