Primary Partition, Windows XP Pro Primary Partition, Windows Vista (32 bit) Partition Module,
Windows Vista (64 bit) Partition Module, Windows 7 (32 bit) Partition Module, or Windows 7 (64 bit)
Partition Module). Otherwise, the partitioning module might not be installed.
• Partitioning modules designed to create or preserve extra partitions (such as Drive Prep - Delete C
Partition only) must be installed before any imported ImageUltra-developed base operating-system
module that yields an Ultra-Portable Image; otherwise, the partitioning module might not be installed.
• When working with multiple partitioning modules, verify that partitioning modules are installed in the
correct order to get the desired result.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each module type you need to modify.

Installation-order tips and notes
Tip: If you are installing an Ultra-Portable Image or a Portable-Sysprep Image that contains the Windows
XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 operating system, a log is generated that identifies the types of modules
that were installed and identifies when the modules were installed. This log is helpful in determining if
your image has modules that are dependent on one another, or if modules are colliding. The Modules.log
file is located in the C:\SWTOOLS folder. In addition, another log file, called stamp log, is located in the
C:\windows\lastcfg folder.
Notes:
• As modules are installing, the environment state is saved so that if a controlled reboot occurs, module
installation will continue where it left off.
• When a new first-customer-boot module is added to a base map, it is automatically placed in the “No
Preference” category of the installation sequence for its designated install slot.
• If a base map is constructed such that a partitioning module will be installed with an imported
ImageUltra-developed base operating-system module (for an Ultra-Portable Image), the Map Settings
window must be configured so the partitioning module is installed before the base operating-system
module. There is no exception to this rule.
• If a base map is constructed such that:
– A partitioning module will be installed with a base operating-system module developed for either a
Hardware-Specific Image or a Portable-Sysprep Image -AND-
– The partitioning module will never be installed with a base operating-system module developed for an
Ultra-Portable Image
you can technically set the installation sequence in the Map Settings window any way you want. However,
there are advantages to configuring the Map Settings window so the partitioning module is installed
before the base operating-system module. In most cases, you define the extended partition defined in
the partitioning module to occupy a fixed portion of the hard disk or a fixed percentage of the hard
disk. This enables you to define the primary partition contained in the base operating-system module
to occupy whatever space is left on the hard disk. By following this practice, you can install the same
base operating-system module with or without a base partition module and use the maximum amount of
space that is available on the hard disk.
