Chapter
2.
An
overview
of
the
image
process
This
chapter
will
help
you
understand
the
various
processes
and
components
associated
with
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program
and
how
they
relate
to
each
other.
For
step-by-step
instructions
on
how
to
complete
any
of
the
processes
described
in
this
chapter,
refer
to
the
ImageUltra
Builder
help
system.
The
ImageUltra
Builder
program
stores
individual
image
components
as
modules
in
the
ImageUltra
Builder
repository.
A
module
is
a
packaged,
compressed,
self-contained
unit
that
often
can
be
combined
with
other
modules
in
the
repository
to
make
one
or
more
images.
Each
application
is
a
module,
each
device
driver
is
a
module,
each
operating
system
is
a
module,
and
so
on.
Note:
A
module
created
from
a
Hardware-Specific
Image
cannot
be
combined
with
any
other
modules
to
enhance
its
function.
A
module
created
from
a
Portable-Sysprep
image
already
contains
device
drivers
and
applications,
but
can
be
combined
with
other
application
modules
and
device-driver
modules
to
enhance
its
function.
Modules
fall
into
the
following
basic
categories:
v
Operating-system
modules:
There
are
three
types
of
operating
system
modules:
–
Base
operating-system
modules:
These
modules
contain
all
of
the
components
that
are
part
of
the
core
operating
system.
Base-operating
system
modules
can
be
imported
from
the
service
partition
or
Hidden
Protected
Area
(HPA)
of
a
source
Lenovo
branded
computer
or
can
be
created
from
any
of
the
following:
-
Hardware-Specific
Images
-
Portable-Sysprep
Images
-
The
I386
folder
of
a
Windows
installation
CD
Note:
The
I386
base
operating-system
module
is
for
use
with
Ultra-Portable
Images
only.
Whenever
a
I386
base
operating-system
module
is
added
to
a
base
map,
it
must
be
accompanied
by
the
ImageUltra
Customizations
module,
the
Sysprep
module,
and
the
appropriate
primary
partitioning
module
(Win2000
Primary
Partition,
WinXP
Home
Primary
Partition,
or
WinXP
Pro
Primary
Partition)
for
the
operating
system
you
are
installing.
The
Sysprep
module
is
used
in
conjunction
with
building
an
Ultra-Portable
Image
for
Windows
XP
and
Windows
2000,
and
needs
to
be
placed
in
the
C:\SWWORK\SYSPREP
folder.
If
you
want
this
I386
base
operating-system
module
to
install
unattended,
you
must
also
create
an
UNATTEND.TXT
module
and
include
it
in
your
base
map.

more
information
about
these
modules
