on the option selected in the Advanced Sysprep Settings dialog.

image in Windows Vista
You can use the Sysprep advanced settings dialog to specify the settings for any
Windows Vista operating system. If you select Windows Vista as the operating system
under Sysprep settings on the Distribute Disk Image dialog and click Advanced
Settings, the Sysprep advanced settings dialog for Windows Vista appears. This
dialog lets you select Sysprep answer file options.
Distribute disk image-resizing
By default, whenever you deploy an image, you have the option to resize the partition to
take advantage of the available disk space. Drive Size gives you information about the
size of the image, so you can determine if you need to change partition sizes. Minimum
indicates the amount of space the image will use on the target computers. Original
indicates the image source disk size.
Fixed Size. Select this option and enter the desired partition size.
Percentage. Select this option and enter the percentage of free space you want the
partition to occupy.
Min. View the minimum size of the partition.
Max. View the maximum size of the partition.
Note
FAT16 file systems have a 2 GB limit and cannot be resized larger than that (although
they can be resized smaller than the minimum value). HP partitions remain a fixed size.
Distribute disk image-additional options
This option lets you specify operations for existing Automation Agents and OEM disk
partitions. The options are as follows: leave the partition as it is, remove, or replace the
existing partitions. If the image file does not contain any information for an automation
or OEM partition, the default option is to leave the client's existing Automation or OEM
partition as it is.
