v ImageUltra Builder 4.0 Vista Supporting tools
v Appropriate Windows Vista Partition module
If you want this Windows Vista operating-system module to install
unattended, you must also create an UNATTEND.XML module and
include it in your base map. For more information about these
modules and for step-by-step instructions on preparing source files
and creating a module, see Chapter 8, “Preparing source files for
modules,” on page 135.
Base operating-system modules from Hardware-Specific Images and
Portable-Sysprep Images are typically created by and installed through an
imaging tool, such as Symantec Norton Ghost, Symantec DeployCenter, or
Microsoft ImageX. Imported ImageUltra-developed base operating-system
modules and base operating-system modules developed from the I386 folder
(hereafter called I386 base operating-system modules) go through a complete
Windows installation.
– Add-on operating system modules: These modules include items such as
operating-system hot fixes, service packs, patches, and updates that install
through a standard setup process, similar to applications.
– Partitioning modules: You use these modules to add one or more partitions
beyond the C partition, delete one or more pre-existing partitions, or create a
partition that can be used with I386 base operating-system modules or
Microsoft Vista operating-system modules. You can have multiple partitioning
modules in a base map to accomplish various results.
When you use a partitioning module to create additional partitions with data,
the module contains all of the information required to create the additional
partition and all of the data to be placed in the additional partition. These
types of partitioning modules are typically created using an imaging too such
as Symantec Norton Ghost, Symantec DeployCenter, or Microsoft DiskPart. If
you just want to add an empty data partition, you can create a simple batch
file and use it as the source file for your partitioning module.
For Hardware-Specific Images and Portable-Sysprep Images, you can set the
installation sequence to add or delete partitions before or after the new C
partition is installed. However, to add a partition after the C partition is
installed, you must have created your C partition to leave enough unused
disk space to accommodate the additional partition.
Ultra-Portable Images using imported ImageUltra-developed base
operating-system modules are typically limited to a single-partition
installation because they are designed to use all available disk space. If you
need to create one or more additional partitions, you must create a
partitioning module and set the installation sequence so the partitioning
module is installed before the base operating-system module.
Ultra-Portable Images using I386 base operating-system modules or Microsoft
Vista images created by users require that you include the appropriate
Primary Partition partitioning module for the operating system you are
installing. The Win2000 Primary Partition, WinXP Pro Primary Partition, and
WinXP Home Primary Partition modules are prebuilt partitioning modules
provided as part of the ImageUltra Builder program.
The deployment and installation of operating-system modules are controlled by
base maps.
v Application modules: Each of these modules contains all of the components
associated with a specific application program.
