Preparing source files for an I386 base operating-system module
The source files for an I386 base operating-system module are available in the I386
folder of a Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, or Windows 2000
installation CD. These files are operating-system specific as well as language
specific. Therefore, you must create separate source folders for each operating
system/language combination.
The best way to prepare these source files is to create separate folders for each
operating-system/language combination on your local drive or on a network drive.
If you are using a network drive, make sure the ImageUltra Builder console can
access the source files. The following is an example of a folder structure for the
source files:
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_PRO\FRENCH
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_HOME\FRENCH
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH
After you create the folder structure, copy the complete I386 folder from the
appropriate Windows installation CD to the folder you created for it. The following
is an example of the folder structures after copying the I386 folder from the
various Windows installation CDs:
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_PRO\FRENCH\I386
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_HOME\FRENCH\I386
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH\I386
Once you have copied the source files from the Windows installation CD, no
modifications are required to the source files.
Note: Although one file in the I386 folder, the UNATTEND.TXT file, contains
customer-unique product identification (PID) and locale information, the
ImageUltra Builder program enables you to create this file externally and
replace the file dynamically during the installation process. The external
UNATTEND.TXT file enables you to maintain a single set of I386 source
folders and modules that can be used for a variety of customers and locales.
For more information about preparing the UNATTEND.TXT file, see
“Setting the attributes for an UNATTEND.TXT module” on page 138.

Setting the attributes for an I386 base operating-system module
The following information describes how to set the attributes for a new I386 base
operating-system module.
To set the attributes for the new module, do the following:
1. Open the repository where you want the new base operating-system module
to reside.
2. If your repository contains folders, navigate to the folder where you want the
new I386 base operating-system module to reside.
3. From the Main Window menu bar, click Insert and then click Operating
System... . The New Module Wizard opens.
