Tip:

If

you

are

installing

an

Ultra-Portable

Image

or

a

Portable-Sysprep

Image

that

contains

the

Windows

XP

or

Windows

Vista

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:

v

As

modules

are

installing,

the

environment

state

is

saved

so

that

if

a

controlled

reboot

occurs,

module

installation

will

continue

where

it

left

off.

v

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.

v

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.

v

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.
