.NET Framework Requirements

What is .NET Framework?

The .NET Framework is a software framework from Microsoft, which is bundled with Windows
operating systems. The .NET Framework is intended to be used by most applications created for the
Microsoft Windows platform.
Dell Latitude Ultrabook, E-Family & Mobile Precision Reimage How-To Guide

Appendix B

512e / 4KBe HDD Re-image Guidelines

1 What is Advanced Format HDD?

HDD industry is moving towards supporting higher drives capacity, to address the current limitations
with the 512-byte sector HDDs, the industry is moving towards the Advanced Format with 4KB sector
HDDs.

The transition to 4KB sector HDDs will allow storage devices to more easily adopt larger capacities in
both the notebook and desktop space.

While hard drives will transition to 4KB sectors and to maintain backwards compatibility, current
Advanced Format 4KB HDDs, also known as 512e HDDs, will emulate 512-byte SATA
communications to hosts and will operate at 4KB.

2 How does an Advanced Format HDD impact OS Images?

Even though a 512e drive is designed to be backward compatible, most of current Operating Systems
are not aware of the Advanced Format technology. Depending on the Operating System and its
service pack, some extra steps may be required to optimize the performance of the Advanced Format
(512e) HDDs and to maintain full Operating System and Application functionality.

These extra steps could require using alignment tools to fix any sector misalignment as a result of
deploying a non-Advanced Format aware image on an Advanced Format HDD which may otherwise
cause performance issues.
Dell Latitude Ultrabook, E-Family & Mobile Precision Reimage How-To Guide

3 Re-imaging Requirements when using Advanced Format HDDs

The following are the re-imaging guidelines needed to support Advanced Format HDDs. These
requirements are dependent on which Operating System will be installed and which method of
deployment will be used.

3.1 Microsoft Operating Systems Advanced Format Aware Readiness

An Operating System is Advanced Format Aware if it meets the following criteria:

o It understands the concept of physical sector vs. logical sector

o It maximizes writes using multiples of 4k bytes
o Disk partition starts at the boundary of 4k sector

Not all current Microsoft Operating Systems are Advanced Format Aware (refer to the Table below). A
system configured with an Advanced Format drive and an operating system that is not Advanced
Format aware can experience sector misalignment, resulting in performance or compatibility issues.

- Some extra steps may be required for re-imaging even with Advanced Format Aware Microsoft
Operating Systems, Install/upgrade to the latest Intel Storage driver
- Apply the applicable Microsoft KB article
- Partition alignment

such as (Please refer to section 3.2 for detailed instructions):

Operating System Advanced Format

Aware
Microsoft Windows 8 Yes

Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 Yes

Microsoft Windows 7 Yes
Microsoft Vista SP1 Yes

(1) Please refer to the Partition Alignment Tools - Section 3.4

3.4 Partition Alignment Options

Partition alignment is required for older operating systems and is recommended for new operating
systems in order to insure proper hard drive performance and imaging between drives of differing
sector sizes. An aligned partition is when the starting offset of the partition is divisible by 4096 Bytes
or by 8 for logical block addressing (LBA) numbers.

3.4.1 Pre-Installation of Operating System

This section lists a few options for partition alignment pre-installation of OS:

- Using Ghost:

Ghost 11.5 will maintain the alignment state of the Gold/Master image. If the disk image is
built and aligned on a 512e/Advanced Format drive, the clones of that image will remain
aligned. If the image is built on a 512B, Ghost command line switch {-align=1MB} can be
used to ensure alignment when deployed to any drive.

- Using DISKPART:
Dell Latitude Ultrabook, E-Family & Mobile Precision Reimage How-To Guide

DISKPART may be used to enable storage configuration or create a partition at an explicit

disk offset from a script, a remote session, or another command prompt.

Dell recommends using WinPE's (3.0 or greater) Diskpart.exe from Windows Vista or
Windows 7 to create the partitions for Windows XP installation. This will create a partition
that is Advanced Format aligned. Without PE, starting with Windows Vista or Windows 7 DVD
to create the partition for the Windows XP will create correct partitioning. On how to use
