Lenovo

branded

computer

from

repositories,

folders,

and

CDs

In

addition

to

importing

from

the

service

partition

or

HPA

(as

discussed

in

the

previous

section),

you

also

can

use

the

Import

Wizard

from

any

ImageUltra

Builder

console

to

import

maps

and

modules

from

a

folder,

ImageUtra

Builder

Distribution

CD,

ThinkCentre

and

ThinkPad

Product

Recovery

CD,

or

a

different

repository.

Note:

You

can

order

a

set

of

ThinkCentre

and

ThinkPad

Product

Recovery

CDs

through

your

local

customer

support

center

team.

On

many

Lenovo

branded

personal

computers

announced

after

2003,

you

can

create

your

own

set

of

ThinkCentre

and

ThinkPad

Product

Recovery

CDs

using

the

Access

IBM

or

ThinkVantage

toolset.

v

When

importing

from

an

ImageUltra

Builder

Distribution

CD

or

a

ThinkCentre

and

ThinkPad

Product

Recovery

CD,

the

Import

Wizard

provides

a

categorized

view

of

all

the

application

modules,

device-driver

modules,

filter

modules,

utility

modules,

base

maps,

and

driver

maps

that

are

available

and

enables

you

to

select

all

items

in

that

category

or

select

only

those

modules

or

maps

that

you

want

to

import.

In

most

cases,

the

operating-system

modules

are

in

a

container

and

the

entire

container

must

be

imported.

v

When

importing

from

a

folder,

the

Import

Wizard

provides

a

categorized

view

of

all

the

operating-system

modules,

application

modules,

device-driver

modules,

filter

modules,

utility

modules,

base

maps,

and

driver

maps

that

are

available

and

enables

you

to

select

all

items

in

that

category

or

select

only

those

modules

or

maps

that

you

want

to

import.

v

When

importing

from

a

different

repository,

you

can

choose

to

use

either

a

categorized

view

or

a

view

of

the

entire

repository

as

it

is

currently

structured

and

select

only

those

maps

or

modules

that

you

want

to

import.

Building

a

module

In

addition

to

importing

modules,

you

can

create

your

own

modules

for

operating

systems,

applications,

and

device

drivers.

However,

there

are

a

few

limitations:

v

Application

modules

and

device-driver

modules

are

for

use

in

Ultra-Portable

Images

and

Portable-Sysprep

Images

only;

they

cannot

be

used

in

conjunction

with

Hardware-Specific

Images.

Hardware-Specific

Images

must

have

all

required

applications

and

device

drivers

installed

on

the

source

computer

before

the

image

is

created.
