Preparing
source
files
for
modules
This
chapter
provides
information
about
preparing
source
files
and
creating
modules
from
source
files.
Creating
source
operating-system
images
The
method
you
use
to
create
the
source
for
a
base
operating-system
module
depends
on
the
type
of
image
you
intend
to
deploy
to
the
target
computer.
The
methods
for
creating
the
source
for
a
Portable-Sysprep
Image,
Hardware-Specific
Image,
and
Ultra-Portable
Image
differ.
Ultra-Portable
Image

files
The
ImageUltra
Builder
program
provides
the
tools
necessary
to
do
the
following:
v
Import
an
ImageUltra-developed
base
operating-system
module
from
either
a
Lenovo
branded
personal
computer
or
from
a
set
of
ThinkCentre
and
ThinkPad
Product
Recovery
CDs
for
use
with
Ultra-Portable
Images
on
Lenovo
branded
computers
only.
For
more
information
about

see
or
refer
to
the

v
Create
an
I386
base
operating-system
module

the
associated
UNATTEND.TXT
module
for
use
with
Ultra-Portable
Images
for
use
on
Lenovo
branded
and
non-Lenovo
branded
computers.
Note:
The
Sysprep
module
is
used
in
conjunction
with
building
an
Ultra-Portable
Image
for
Windows
XP
and
Windows
2000,
and
needs
to
be
placed
in
the

module,
In
addition
to
installing
application
modules,
add-on
operation-system
modules,
and
device
driver
modules
as
part
of
an
Ultra-Portable
Image,
you
also
can
use
partitioning
modules
to
create
an
additional
partition.
By
default,
Ultra-Portable
Images
are
limited
to
a
single-partition
installation.
But
by
using
partitioning
modules,
you
can
create
an
empty
partition,
create
a
partition
that
contains
data,
or
delete
one
or
more
partitions.
Any
data
that
needs
to
be
in
the
additional
partition
must
be
contained
in
the
partitioning
module;
you
cannot
install
other
modules
in
a
data
partition
created
by
a
partitioning
module.
