Notice that several partitioning modules are inserted at the root-entry level:
v The ImageUltra-provided partitioning module, DrivePrep - Delete All Partitions,
deletes all user partitions that are on the target computer.
v The user-developed partitioning module, Common Data Partition - Partitioning
Module, creates a temporary C partition and installs the data partition. (For
information about creating partitioning modules, see “Preparing source files for
a partitioning module” on page 158.)
v The ImageUltra-provided partitioning module, DrivePrep - Delete C Partition
Only, deletes the temporary C partition. All space that was previously used by
the temporary C partition is now recognized as free space, which will be used
for the remainder of the image.
Note: It is important to understand that the order in which these partitioning
modules are installed is extremely important. You set the order in the Install
Order tab of the base-map Map Settings window. In the Install Order tab,
you select Base Operating System for the module type, move the
partitioning modules to the First box, and then set the order needed to
achieve the desired result. In this example, you would set the order in the
First
box as follows:
1. DrivePrep - Delete All Partitions
2. Common Data Partition - Partitioning Module
3. DrivePrep - Delete C Partition Only
The following illustration shows an example of a base map that installs a data
partition only if the “Windows XP Professional” menu item is selected during the
installation process.
Note: It is important to understand that the use of any partitioning modules
overrides the default ImageUltra partitioning behavior of deleting all
partitions. Therefore, in this example, you must insert the DrivePrep - Delete
All Partitions partitioning module as a starting point.
