Fdisk Partition and Format Computers

In some situations you may want to externally partition Consistent Mode computers using Fdisk and then format them with CCM.

NOTE: The intent of working with multiple computers is to achieve identical results across a large number of computers and to avoid the necessity of entering identical information many times. To take advantage of this functionality you should make sure that all the computers you select are Fdisk computers.

Partition the computers using Fdisk.
Add the computers to the CCM database.

On the Boot and Security properties page, in the Disk properties group box, select the Fdisk check box.
