ImageUltra 2.0 - Drive Prep - Delete C Partition Only 2.0

Version

Notice that the ImageUltra-provided module, DrivePrep - Delete C Partition Only, is inserted at the root-entry
level. In this example, you would ensure that this partitioning module gets installed first by moving the
DrivePrep - Delete C Partition Only module to the First box of the Install Order tab in the Map Settings
window. These are the only changes required to preserve pre-existing data partitions on a target computer.

Whenever you use one or more partitioning modules, you must ensure that the partitioning modules are
installed in the correct order to achieve the desired result.

Note: When using partitioning modules with an Ultra-Portable Image, the partitioning modules must be
installed before any other operating-system modules.

You control the installation sequence of partitioning modules through the Install Order tab of the base-map
Map Settings window. To set your partitioning modules to install first, do the following:

1. Open the Base Map window.

2. Highlight the root entry of the tree structure.

3. In the Main window menu bar, click Tools and then click Settings.... The Map Settings window opens.

4. Click the Install Sequence tab.

5. Use the drop-down menu to select Base Operating System.

6. Highlight a partitioning module in the No Preference area and then click the Move up icon to move the

partitioning module into the Install first area. Repeat this step for each partitioning module.

7. When all partitioning modules have been moved to the First area, verify that they are listed in the

correct order, and then click OK.

Simple and complex base maps

When you develop your base maps, you can develop simple maps that contain a small number of modules,
have limited choices, and pertain to one group; or, you can develop complex maps that contain many
modules, a larger number of choices, and apply to many groups.
