Importing

pre-existing

maps

and

modules

The

Import

Wizard

copies

pre-existing

maps

and

modules

into

your

repository.

You

can

import

maps

and

modules

from

any

of

the

following

sources:

v

A

service

partition

on

a

computer

v

The

Hidden

Protected

Area

(HPA)

on

an

Lenovo

branded

computer

v

A

directory

on

a

computer

A

different

of

an

Importing

maps

and

modules

from

a

service

partition

or

HPA

To

import

modules

from

a

source

computer,

you

must

first

install

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

on

the

source

computer

and

set

up

the

source

computer

so

it

has

access

to

the

central

repository.

After

the

ImageUltra

Program

is

installed,

open

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program,

open

the

Repository

window

for

your

central

repository,

then

start

and

use

the

Import

Wizard

to

import

the

desired

modules

to

your

central

repository.

The

Import

Wizard

provides

a

categorized

view

of

all

application

modules,

device-driver

modules,

filter

modules,

utility

modules,

base

maps,

and

driver

maps

that

are

in

the

source

computer

service

partition

or

HPA.

It

enables

you

to

select

a

category

and

import

all

modules

within

that

category,

or

select

only

those

modules

or

maps

that

you

want

to

import.

In

many

cases,

the

operating-system

modules

are

in

a

container

and

the

entire

container

must

be

imported.

As

part

of

the

import

operations,

the

Import

Wizard

prompts

you

to

select

the

folder

in

the

repository

where

you

want

the

maps

and

modules

to

reside.

You

can

use

an

existing

folder

in

your

repository,

create

a

new

folder

in

your

repository,

or

just

put

the

imported

modules

in

the

root

entry

of

your

repository.

The

advantages

of

importing

modules,

as

opposed

to

building

your

own,

are

as

follows:

v

ImageUltra-developed

modules

have

been

tested

by

Lenovo

and

are

ready

for

deployment

on

Lenovo

branded

computers.

v

Base

maps

and

driver

maps

are

automatically

created

by

the

ImageUltra

Builder

Import

Wizard

based

on

the

modules

you

select

to

import.
