Hi, well, I'm talking about the diskpart steps. Certainly admins are able to use diskpart however you must know the original partion types/ size(s). Look at ghost/livestate recovery or similar tools. Any of those knows the partition information and is able to restore to origin or even do a resize of that. If we (tsm users) are going to use TSM as a general imaging environment we shouldn't bother on using different tools for paritioning really.
