You need the following additional information for computers that you are going to install as Cooperative Mode:
Formatting and partitioning information for all hard disks.
Note: Use a utility such as FDISK to display this information, but take care not to accidentally delete the drive partitioning and formatting information.
Information about and parameter settings for any installed application that you intend to automatically update with Symantec LiveState Delivery while this computer is still in Cooperative Mode.
Note: Although it is not necessary to provide information about all the currently installed applications on the computer, it is a good practice to know what applications are installed on the computer, in case a reset of the computer is necessary.
