How to Image Classmate Without Recovery Partition

The imageing disk creates a 5.5gb recovery partition which cannot be used to recover the classmate, and is not used after imaging. Since the Classmate only has a 16gb SSD, it is unreasonable to waste that much space on the SSD.

I have modified the imaging scripts such that they do not create this partition.

NOTE: the following only has a "Works on my Machine" garuentee. Make a copy of the imaging flash drive before proceeding.

Replace the AUTOINSTALL.bat and DISKPARTSCRIPT.txt files on your imaging flash drive with the ones contained in the zip file attached to this post.

That is all. Boot your classmate from the flash drive and image as normal, but now you will now have the full 16gb of hdd space available.


Unfortunatly, due to the way they created the partitions the built-in utilites in winodws cannot remove this partition after imaging. It is possible to do remove this partition manually with third party tools after imaging is complete, but I dont' have time to document that procedure now.
