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.
