Hello everybody, I read through this form and I have a similar scenario with the Dell utility partition on an Optiplex GX 745. I spent all this time setting up RIS on Windows 2003 ,setting up DHCP, and finding the right network driver (annoying) only to get stuck on the partitioning. The entire RIS process worked flawlessly on the machine we ran riprep from (225GB SATA HD in Source machine) but then again it was one Hard Disk that was formatted with one partition (C: 225GB) and we loaded XP PRO SP2 with our OEM VL CD. However, we then tried to image an Optiplex GX 745 with an 80GB SATA HD which also has the Dell Utility Partition on it we keep recieving the error below. "Setup cannot copy the operating system image you selected. This computer does not have enough disk space on the selected partition. Contact your system administrator. Is this because the machine we ran RipRep from had a 225 GB HD and the machine to recieve the image only has an 80GB HD? Will it still be possible for RIS too blast the Dell utility partition or tweak the sif file somehow to keep the Dell Utility partition intact? I would really appreciate your input or any and all recommendations for this issue? Thanks!
