Resolution

The OS capture and deployment process flow uses the same general logic as previously mentioned, booting from the OSIM boot image and running the OS capture or deployment batch files. The supported OSIM capture and deployment OS types are as follows: 

GETIMAGE: Generic capture OS type, which applies either Ghost32 or ImageX. Windows 2000, 2003, 2008, XP, and Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) are supported.
GETIMAGE-WIN7: Newer capture OS type, which only applies ImageX. Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) and Windows 2008 R2 (64 bit) are supported.
GHOST: Original Symantec Ghost supported OS type, which was originally designed for Windows 2000, 2003, XP (32-bit or 64-bit).
IMAGEX: This OS type is added to support Microsoft ImageX for Windows 2000, 2003, and XP (32-bit or 64-bits).
IMAGEX-VISTA: This OS type is also added to support Windows Vista and 2008 (32-bit or 64 bit).
IMAGEX-WIN7: This OS type now supports Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) and Windows 2008 R2 (64 bit).
OSIM does not currently support capture and deployment of Linux OS images.
