UEFI systems require three partitions: EFI,MSR and Primary. Currently each partition needs to be captured and applied separately and BCD Boot Manager editing is required. Link to MS detailing this procedure is below. The append feature within ImageX is not designed to support boot related issues. Microsoft does not appear to embrace EFI as they have not supported the automation of EFI partitioning in ImageX. Improvement: Add the ability to automate capture and apply partitioning to GimageX with the following features: 1. Add the option to automatically capture multiple partitions. 2. Add the option to automatically apply multiple partitions. 3. Provide these features as a check box option within each tab in GimageX. 4. Provide the ability to use an optional configuration file to customize the process. 5. For example, some create a recovery partition in addition to the three EFI required partitions. Some have multiple primary partitions. Related Info: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc765951%28WS.10%29.aspx ",Feature Request,closed,,Other,,None,Rejected,,
