new single partition using all available space on the hard disk, formats the new
partition, and sets the new partition as bootable in preparation for installing the
Windows Vista operating system.
v Windows 7 Primary Partition: This partition module is for use with
Ultra-Portable Images that use Windows 7 operating-system modules for
Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit. It deletes existing user partitions, establishes a new
single partition using all available hard disk space, formats the new partition,
and sets the new partition as bootable in preparation for installing the Windows
7 operating system.
Note: The five Primary NTFS Partition partitioning modules are for use with I386
base operating-system modules only. Do not attempt to use these modules
with any other type of base operating-system module. For details about the
Primary NTFS Partition partitioning modules in a map, see “Special
considerations for I386 base operating-system modules” on page 82.
Additional Note: A base operating-system module created from Microsoft ImageX
does not need a partitioning module.
You can also create your own partitioning modules to create one or more data
partitions and use combinations of partitioning modules in a base map to achieve
various results. For detailed instruction on preparing the source files for a
partitioning module, see “Preparing source files for a partitioning module” on
page 158.
You can insert a partitioning module into a base map in either of the following
ways:
v Insert the partitioning module in the right pane of the Base Map window at the
root-entry level. You use this implementation when you want the partitioning
module to be used on all target computers that use the map, regardless of what
menu items are selected from the installation menus.
v Insert the partitioning module in the right pane of the Base Map window at a
menu-item level. You use this implementation if you want the use of the
partitioning module to be contingent on the selection of a menu item during the
installation process. For example, one menu selection can result in deleting all
user partitions while a different menu selection can result in deleting the C
partition only and preserving any other data partitions that might exist.
The following illustration shows an example of a base map that installs a common
data partition to all target computers that use this map.
