The local recovery products support all IDE hard drive controllers, Serial ATA controllers and standard Adaptec and LSI Logic series SCSI controllers currently shipping from HP. Other supported SCSI controllers are listed in the last chapter of the Local Recovery User's Guide. Requests to support controllers not currently supported in this version can be made through Altiris Customer Services. During the installation of Local Recovery if an unsupported device driver is detected the user will receive an installation error indicating that unsupported drivers have been detected. If these drivers have been loaded as part of an existing factory image and there is not a dependent device in the system, removal of the driver from the Device Manager in Windows should correct the problem and allow installation to occur normally.

Currently, it is not possible for an Embedded Bootworks partition and the Altiris partition to reside simultaneously on the same physical drive. If you have an EBW partition and you attempt to install and/or create an Altiris partition the installation will fail with an error message instructing you remove the EBW partition prior to creating the Altiris partition. [. . . ] To disable snapshots when running on battery power, do the following: 1) In Windows click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Scheduled Tasks. 3) Select the Do not start this task if the computer is running on batteries check box. This setting will be saved for all subsequent snapshots. RELEASE NOTES LOCAL RECOVERY FOR HP 6. 1 PAGE 4 OF 4 [. . . ]
