The
Primary
Partition
partitioning
module
is
responsible
for
preparing
the
target
hard
disk
to
accept
a
Windows
installation.
It
creates
the
partition,
formats
the
partition,
and
establishes
the
partition
as
a
bootable
partition.
Three
Primary
Partition
partitioning
modules
are
provided
as
part
of
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program:
v
The
Win2000
Primary
Partition
partitioning
module
v
The
WinXP
Home
Primary
Partition
partitioning
module
v
The
WinXP
Pro
Primary
Partition
partitioning
module
All
of
these
are
ready-to-use
operating-system
partitioning
modules.
You
must
match
the
appropriate
Primary
Partition
module
with
the
I386
base
operating-system
module.
The
ImageUltra
Customizations
module
contains
the
ImageUltra
Customization
program,
which
provides
the
hooks
required
for
the
Ultra-Portable
Images
to
make
use
of
applications
and
device
drivers
defined
in
maps.
The
ImageUltra
Customizations
module
is
a
ready-to-use
operating-system
module
provided
as
part
of
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program,
and
is
for
use
with
I386
base
operating-system
modules
only.
The
ImageUltra
Customizations
module
provided
as
part
of
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program
is
different
from
similarly
named
modules
that
can
be
imported
from
source
Lenovo
branded
computers
in
that
it
does
not
contain
the
Sysprep
function.
Note:
Do
not
attempt
to
use
the
ImageUltra
Customizations
module
with
Portable-Sysprep
Images
or
an
Ultra-Portable
Image
developed
from
imported
ImageUltra-developed
base
operating-system
modules.
Also,
some
imported
ImageUltra-developed
application
modules
might
have
a
dependency
on
the
Sysprep
function
and
might
not
install
correctly
when
used
in
images
containing
an
I386
base
operating-system
module
and
an
ImageUltra
Customizations
module.
If
an
imported
ImageUltra-developed
application
module
does
not
install
correctly,
recreate
the
application
module
using
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program.
The
UNATTEND.TXT
module
is
required
if
you
want
the
image
to
be
installed
unattended.
This
module
enables
you
to
replace
the
default
UNATTEND.TXT
file
contained
in
the
I386
folder
with
one
you
create.
This
file
enables
you
to
predefine
values
needed
during
the
installation
process,
such
as
the
product
key,
user
name,
and
company
name.
In
some
cases,
you
might
want
to
create
multiple
UNATTEND.TXT
modules
and
let
the
person
who
will
deploy
the
image
select
the
appropriate
UNATTEND.TXT
module.
To
create
this
module,
you
must
first
create
an
UNATTEND.TXT
file
that
contains
the
values
you
want
to
use.
Once
you
have
created
the
UNATTEND.TXT
file,
you
use
the
New
Module
Wizard
to
create
an
operating-system
module
entry
in
the
repository
and
to
set
the
attributes
associated
with
the
module.
When
you
have
finished
defining
the
attributes,
you
can
select
the
entry
from
the
repository
and
build
the
module.
Creating
a
partitioning
module
A
partitioning
module
is
a
special
type
of
operating-system
module
that
is
used
for
several
functions.
You
can
use
a
partitioning
module
to
delete
one
or
more
partitions
on
a
target
computer
before
installing
an
image
and
to
create
additional
partitions,
beyond
the
C
partition.
You
can
have
multiple
partitioning
modules
in
a
base
map
to
achieve
various
results.
Because
an
Ultra-Portable
Image
installation
is
typically
limited
to
a
single-partition,
you
must
create
a
partitioning
module
if
you
