OS Recovery of a offline system - OEM style
Hi Guys!
Today we have a ghost solution that we would like to replace with SCCM. The config today is:
3 partitions, OS & Storage & Recovery
OS = C:\ System partition
Storage = All users files
Recovery = Win 98/dos FAT partition with a ghost to do a reinstall of C:\ 1:1
And a boot loader to choose from OS or Recovery mode.
Any ideas how to do a nice solution that can do all above but with SCCM OSD? It has to be offline!

I think this article by Kenny Buntinx will show you how to do exactly that http://scug.be/blogs/sccm/archive/2011/02/20/configmgr-2007-and-how-to-automate-windows-7-backup-activation-thru-a-task-sequence.aspx
take out from the post:
1. Creating the necessary partitions :
System partition (+/- 500 mb) that will hold the bootloader (think of Bitlocker ) and the WINRE environment. ( hidden )
C:\ OS partition D:\ Data partition E:\ IMAGE system image backup partition (drive letter will be removed in the process
