Restoring Dell Utility Partition during Task Sequence

Dear Support,

We're using SCCM and Task Sequence to deploy image to multiple Dell systems. I'm trying to include a Dell Utility Partition as a part of the build.
When we receive a new laptop it already has a utility partition on it. So my task sequence is wiping C: drive and then proceed with next step. This pose an issue when we have a replacement blank hard disk.

I can format a disk during TS (1st small partition is hidden, 2nd partition is system). The question is how do I restore that partition to that hidden partition using TS. Is this partition available for download ? Is it supported during TS and if not how Dell is getting around it?

Thank you for your help
Santos

I dont think many people restore this partition (according to Dell) - they rely on boot CDs for diagnostics. I dont think even Dell internally restore this on their own builds.
