Re: Deployment script for dual-boot computers

Currently using Deploy Studio for system imaging and modular deployment of packages in a lab environment. I am resizing the boot partition of disks0, creating a back-end MS-DOS partition on this same disk, and formatting disks1 as a data-only drive through an ARD UNIX-command. I am then using WinClone to format the back-end partition and install Windows XP for dual-booting. All of this manipulation is being performed on known-sized hard drives (i.e. all of my lab computers have 320G disks0 and 500G disks1).

I would like to modify my script so it can be extended to other labs and need to take into account (a) there may be only 1 installed disk (iMacs) and (b) the disks0 may not be 320G in size.

My scripting abilities are somewhat limited so I'm looking for a little help. I know 'diskutil list' will provide me with the # of disks and disk sizes but I do not know how to collect this data and use it for my needs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This functionality is built into Deploy Studio's workflow editor if you can wipe the drives.


If that is not an option, then you may want to see if you can get ahold of the resize script that was in NetRestore as it was pretty thorough with partition resizing and MBR fixing at the end there.
