The best way to prepare these source files is to create separate folders for each operating-system/language
combination on your local drive or on a network drive. If you are using a network drive, make sure the
ImageUltra Builder console can access the source files. The following is an example of a folder structure for
the source files:
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_PRO\FRENCH
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_HOME\FRENCH
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH

After you create the folder structure, copy the complete I386 folder from the appropriate Windows installation
CD to the folder you created for it. The following is an example of the folder structures after copying the I386
folder from the various Windows installation CDs:
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_PRO\FRENCH\I386
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_HOME\FRENCH\I386
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH\I386

Once you have copied the source files from the Windows installation CD, no modifications are required to
the source files.

Note: Although one file in the I386 folder, the UNATTEND.TXT file, contains customer-unique product
identification (PID) and locale information, the ImageUltra Builder program enables you to create this file
externally and replace the file dynamically during the installation process. The external UNATTEND.TXT file
enables you to maintain a single set of I386 source folders and modules that can be used for a variety of
customers and locales. For more information about preparing the UNATTEND.TXT file, see “Setting the
attributes for an UNATTEND.TXT module” on page 126
.

Continue with “Setting the attributes for an I386 base operating-system module” on page 124.
