Lenovo ThinkVantage ImageUltra Builder Version 5.0 - Manual (Page 97)

Special considerations for Windows Vista or Windows 7 base
operating-system modules
The Windows Vista or Windows 7 base operating-system module is the core
element of an Ultra-Portable Image that can be deployed and installed on Lenovo
branded and non-Lenovo branded computers, regardless of hardware
configurations. However, whenever a map contains a Windows Vista or Windows
7 base operating-system module, that map also must contain the following
modules:
v An appropriate Primary NTFS Partition partitioning module for the operating
system being installed
v The ImageUltra Builder 5.0 Windows Vista / Windows 7 Customizations module
v The ImageUltra Builder 5.0 Windows Vista / Windows 7 Servicing Tools
Note: The Sysprep module is used in conjunction with building an
Ultra-Portable Image for Windows Vista or Windows 7, and needs to be
placed in the C:/SWWORK/SYSPREP folder.
v An UNATTEND.XML module for Windows Vista or Windows 7 and language
being installed
These modules are designed to be used in conjunction with Windows Vista or
Windows 7 base operating-system modules only. Do not attempt to use these
modules in conjunction with any other type of base operating-system module.
Primary NTFS Partition partitioning module
The ImageUltra Builder program provides four variations of the Primary NTFS
Partition partitioning modules:
v Windows XP Pro Primary Partition
v Windows XP Home Primary Partition
v Windows 2000 Primary Partition
v Windows Vista Primary Partition
v Windows 7 Primary Partition
Primary NTFS Partition partitioning modules are responsible for creating the
primary partition, formatting the primary partition, and setting the primary
partition as bootable in preparation for the operating system installation. These
modules are provided as part of the ImageUltra Builder program and are ready to
use without modification.
Because each of these partitioning modules is unique to a specific operating
system, but has no dependency on language, insert the appropriate Primary NTFS
Partition partitioning module under the menu item to the appropriate operating
system. If your map is designed to install only one type of operating system
(Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, or
Windows 7) and all installations are done using I386 base operating-system
modules, you can insert the appropriate Primary NTFS Partition partitioning
module under the root entry.
ImageUltra Customizations 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 provided as part of the ImageUltra Builder program and
is ready to use without modification.
