In some situations you may want to partition Consistent Mode computers that were partitioned using Fdisk and then format them with Symantec LiveState Delivery.
Warning: Make sure that all computers you select have the Fdisk checkbox selected in the Boot and Security settings of the computer properties dialog box.
Warning: When you are simultaneously partitioning and formatting multiple computers, make sure that all the computers you select have the same number of disks and identical configurations. Otherwise, you may inadvertently reformat and/or delete partitions.
