RIS with recovory partitioned laptops

[MManjra]

We have just got some new HPnx7300 laptops that have a recovery partition on them. i have created an image using riprep which i want to deploy to these new latops, however i'm having a few difficulties doing this.

 

i reallly dont want to go through all the machines recreating all the partitions, as this is what i think i'm gonna have to do.

 

Are there any easier ways to do this??

 

Anyone had any similar problems?

AHA! well i disabled SATA mode in BIOS and that seems to let me install windows XP.
