Default RIS Server 03 with RIPREP Partitioning Help Needed!!!

Hello everybody,

I spent alot of time setting up RIS on Windows Server 2003 ,setting up
DHCP, and finding the right network driver (annoying) only to get
stuck on the partitioning. By the way I am using the riprep.sif file
for that image to automate the product key,etc. The entire RIS
process worked flawlessly on the machine we ran RIPREP from (225GB
SATA HD in Source machine that we gathered image from) but then again
it was one SATA HD 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 a Dell
Utility Partition on it (the machine we ran RIPREP did NOT have the
Dell Utility Partition on it). I 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
Destination machine to recieve the image only has an 80GB HD?


Will it still be possible for RIS too keep the Dell utility partition?
If not, is there a tweak that will somehow allow us to keep the Dell
Utility partition intact?
