Partition 2nd hard drive

During the imaging process can I have Casper partition a 2nd harddrive that is in the computer. We configured all our Macs to come with 2 drives in them (Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD2). I see the partition tab when I create my configuration in Casper Admin. But I don't see a way to tell it to partition the 2nd drive.

Can Casper do this or do I need a script to accomplish this???

I think you will need a script, since I believe Casper Imaging will always target the drive being imaged with any partition commands.

Casper Imaging will only partition the 1st disk.. all other disks that need to partitioned are done as scripts...

I have something similar on my MacPro with a drive in Bay 1 & Bay 2
Bay 1 is partitioned by Caper Imaging.
Bay 2 is handled by a script (within Casper Imaging) that invokes diskutil at the command line and I run that 'Before'.

After reboot, I have 4 nice partitions named and ready to go!!
