1. A method for coordinating imaging operations with user profile migration to perform migration in place on a computer system, the method comprising the steps of:

  • providing a migration content storage partition in the computer system to hold migration content, by using a partition manipulation tool to manipulate at least one partition in a partitionable storage medium of the computer system;

    saving migration content into the provided migration content storage partition by using a migration tool, the saved migration content including at least user settings for the computer system;

    deploying an image into at least one other partition of the computer system'"'"'s partitionable storage by using an imaging tool, thereby forming a newly imaged partition which is not the migration content storage partition;

    restoring migration content from the migration content storage partition into the newly imaged partition by using the migration tool; and

    deleting the migration content storage partition after restoring migration content from the migration content storage partition into the newly imaged partition.
