The Sysprepbackup operation changes in the Windows(R) 7 operating system because a new version of Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) is built in the Windows 7 operating system. When you run the System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) and use the /generalize option, the Sysprep operation disables Windows RE by removing the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) entry to the Rescue and Recovery(R) Pre Desktop Area (PDA)This package is intended for use with systems running Microsoft Windows 7 only
