or
implement
a
process
that
prompts
the
person
installing
the
image
to
provide
all
necessary
user
settings
near
the
beginning
of
the
installation
process.
The
settings
are
stored
and
provided
to
the
Windows
setup
program
when
needed.
This
feature
minimizes
the
amount
of
time
that
someone
needs
to
be
present
at
a
target
computer
during
the
installation
process.
Ultra-Portable
Images
are
typically
limited
to
a
single-partition
installation.
During
the
installation
process,
any
unused
disk
space
is
made
into
a
single
C
partition,
and
the
Ultra-Portable
Image
is
installed
in
that
partition.
However,
if
you
need
to
create
one
or
more
additional
partitions,
you
can
create
a
unique
type
of
operating-system
module
called
a
partitioning
module
and
set
the
sequence
of
the
installation
so
the
partitioning
module
is
installed
before
the
base
operating-system
module.
The
partitioning
module
contains
all
of
the
information
required
to
create
the
additional
partition
and
all
of
the
data
to
be
placed
in
the
additional
partition.
You
also
use
partitioning
modules
to
delete
one
or
more
existing
partitions
on
a
target
computer
before
the
new
image
is
installed.

more

about
preparing
modules,

From
a
technical
perspective,
the
same
base
operating-system
module
and
most
application
modules
can
be
used
on
virtually
any
personal
computer.
The
high
portability
of
the
Ultra-Portable
Image
is
limited
only
by
the
PID
assigned
to
base
operating-system
module.
v
I386
base
operating-system
modules
or
Microsoft
Vista
UNATTEND.XML
modules
that
you
develop
through
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program
are
virtually
hardware
independent
and
limited
only
by
the
licensing
agreement
between
you
and
the
Microsoft
Corporation
that
is
associated
with
the
PID
you
assign.
You
specify
the
PID
in
an
associated
UNATTEND.TXT
module
in
Windows
XP
or
an
UNATTEND.XML
module
in
Windows
Vista
either
as
the
Product
ID
setting
in
the
Windows
2000
version
of
the
UNATTEND.TXT
file
or
the
ProductKey
setting
in
the
Windows
XP
version
of
the
UNATTEND.TXT
file.
Additional
information
about
the
UNATTEND.TXT
and
UNATTEND.XML
modules,

and
UNATTEND.XML
