Deploying the DaRT 7.0 Recovery Image
After you have created the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) file that contains the Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT) v7 recovery image, you can deploy the DaRT recovery image throughout your enterprise so that it's available to end users and helpdesk agents. There are four supported methods that you can use to deploy the DaRT recovery image.
Burn the ISO image file to a CD or DVD
Save the contents of the ISO image file to a USB Flash Drive (UFD)
Extract the boot.wim file from the ISO image and deploy as a remote partition that is available to end-user computers
Extract the boot.wim file from the ISO image and deploy in the recovery partition of a new Windows 7 installation
Important
The DaRT Recovery Image Wizard only provides the option to burn a CD or DVD. All other methods of saving and deploying the recovery image require additional steps that involve tools that are not included in DaRT. Some guidance and links for these other methods are provided in this section.
