DELL Optiplex™ Computers and Master Manager™

DELL Optiplex™ computers have a unique partition table that consists of a hidden “DELL Utility” partition in addition to the boot partition. These partitions can be cloned with Master Manager Mode, but only in a specific way:

1.When building a DELL Optiplex-compatible Master drive using Master Manager, the first partition cloned to the Destination drive should be a single Dell Utility partition.

2.Every partition after that can be a normal, bootable partition. They can even come from different DELL Optiplex™ PC’s as the Dell Utility partition is the same from drive to drive.

3.Once the Master drive is built, you can then use Selective Partitions to clone it to other DELL Optiplex™ computers by selecting the Dell Utility partition along with the desired boot partition.
