I would like to create a DaRT Boot Image for each of our OS 7/8/10 and then make a partition on the computers where if needed users can hit F12(Dell) and boot to DaRT if needed.  I have been searching can't seem to find this blogged.

Thoughts?

In my opinion, you'd be better off replacing the built-in Windows Recovery Environment (winre.wim) with a DaRT image. You can then access it via the "advanced startup" options. And you shouldn't need different ones for each OS. The latest DaRT from MDOP 2015 should be compatible with 7/8/10.

This is exactly what I want to do, but My Images do not have the Recovery Partition on them what is the best way to create that partition and make it bootable in F8?

Probably the best documented/supported way would be to use MDT:

I like it... Working on this as we speak... 1 question are you sure that DaRT 10 works with Windows 7 & 8?
