Function Forces boot fixup in cases when it does not normally
occur. When imaging completes, certain files, such as boot.ini or
grub, and the MBR are modified to ensure that the computer

This is used in circumstances when you want to keep existing
partitions using the -kp switch. If you are replacing a boot
partition use this switch to fix booting. If you are replacing a
data partition this is not required.
Function Forces the automation partition to be restored. Use
this switch when using PXE or to overwrite an existing

partition in the image.

partition in the image replace an existing automation partition
on the hard disk, type
