Controlling the behavior of the service partition
ImageUltra Builder 5.0 supports two types of Service Partitions:
• Back of the hard disk drive
• Front of the hard disk drive
The Service Partition at the back of the hard disk drive is a FAT32 partition with the volume label
SERVICEV001. This partition works with the Windows XP version of ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery.
The Service Partition at the front of the hard disk drive is an NTFS partition. The NTFS partition works with
the Windows Vista version of ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery with the volume label SERVICEV002 or
the Windows 7 version of ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery with the volume label SERVICEV003.
When you create your base map, the New Map Wizard prompts you to define what action to take on the
maps and modules after the image has been installed. You have three options: Delete none, Delete all,
and Delete unused. Your selection affects the size of the service partition, whether or not console-side
recovery will be available, and the amount of time it will take to complete the installation. See “Defining
service-partition behavior” on page 22 for more information about these settings.
You can change the setting anytime during the map-development process. To change the setting, do
the following:
1. Open the Base Map window.
2. Highlight the root entry or any menu item in the tree structure.
3. In the Main window menu bar, click Tools and then click Settings.... The Map Settings window opens.
4. Click the Image Cleanup tab.
5. Click the Delete none, Delete unused, or Delete all radio button to select the action you want to take.
6. Click OK.
7. Click the Save icon located in the Main window toolbar.
Using a partitioning module in a base map
A partitioning module is a special type of operating-system module that has the following purposes:
• To delete one or more user partitions before installing an image
• To create an additional data partition on the target computer, beyond the C partition
• To preserve one or more pre-existing data partitions on a target computer
• To disable the default partitioning behavior of the ImageUltra Builder program
• To eliminate existing partitions, set up a new single partition, format the new partition, and set the
new partition as bootable in preparation for Ultra-Portable Image installation using an I386 base
operating-system module
By default, the ImageUltra Builder program automatically deletes all user partitions on the target computer as
a starting point for installation. You can override this default behavior or make the behavior dependent on a
menu selection through the use of partitioning modules.
The ImageUltra Builder program provides the following ready-to-use partitioning modules in the ImageUltra
folder of the repository:
• DrivePrep - Delete All Partitions: This partitioning module is designed to delete all user partitions on the
target computer hard disk before the new image is installed.
