Driver
maps
Driver
maps
are
for
use
with
Ultra-Portable
Images
and
Portable-Sysprep
Images
only;
driver
maps
are
not
used
by
Hardware-Specific
Images.
If
you
select
a
driver
map
in
conjunction
with
a
base
map
that
contains
a
Hardware-Specific
Image,
the
driver
map
is
ignored
during
the
installation
of
the
Hardware-Specific
Image.
The
tree
structure
in
a
driver
map
enables
you
to
define
a
multi-branch
structure
containing
device-driver
modules.
The
use
of
menu
items
is
optional.
Menu
items
in
a
driver
map
serve
two
purposes
only:
v
They
enable
a
developer
to
annotate
or
label
groups
of
device-driver
modules.
v
They
enable
a
developer
to
assign
filters
to
one
or
more
device-driver
modules.
Using
filters
is
optional,
but
they
might
be
useful
if
you
create
a
driver
map
that
contains
device-driver
modules
for
multiple
computer
types.
The
filters
provided
with
the
ImageUltra
Builder
program
enable
you
to
key
off
of
the
machine
type,
machine
type
and
model,
hardware
platform
(desktop
or
mobile),
and
whether
or
not
a
computer
is
an
Lenovo
branded
computer.
Menu
items
in
driver
maps
have
no
effect
on
the
menus
displayed
at
the
target
computer.
Use
the
New
Map
Wizard
to
create
a
driver-map
entry
in
the
repository.
Then
populate
the
tree
structure
with
menu
items,
if
desired.
Finally,
insert
modules
in
your
tree
structure
and
optionally
assign
filters
to
menu
items.
For
detailed
information
about
constructing
driver
maps,
see
The
use
of
driver
maps
is
optional
if
the
target
computer
is
an
Lenovo
branded
personal
computer.
If
you
do
not
select
a
driver
map
during
the
deployment
of
an
Ultra-Portable
Image
or
a
Portable-Sysprep
Image,
the
installation
process
will
use
the
device-driver
modules
that
are
present
in
the
target
computer
service
partition
or
HPA.
It
is
important
to
note
that
when
a
driver
map
is
used
with
an
Lenovo
branded
personal
computer,
the
driver
map
does
not
append
the
factory-installed
device-driver
modules;
it
deletes
all
factory-installed
device-driver
modules
and
replaces
them
with
the
device-driver
modules
defined
in
the
map.
Therefore:
v
If
you
use
a
driver
map
with
an
Ultra-Portable
Image,
the
driver
map
must
contain
all
device
drivers
required
for
the
target
computer.
v
If
you
use
a
driver
map
with
a
Portable-Sysprep
Image,
the
driver
map
must
contain
all
device
drivers
required
to
supplement
those
already
contained
in
the
base
operating-system
module.
If
you
develop
an
Ultra-Portable
Image
for
non-Lenovo
branded
computers,
you
must
include
one
or
more
driver
maps
to
support
all
of
the
hardware
configurations
on
which
this
image
will
be
installed.
Defining
the
deployment
and
installation
method
After
you
create
your
base
map,
the
Map
Settings
Wizard
enables
you
to
define
the
type
of
network
installation
to
use.
You
can
choose:
v
Direct-network
installation:
This
method
uses
the
network-staging
folder
to
control
the
installation.
Modules
are
deployed
and
unpacked
directly
to
the
C
partition
of
the
target
computer.
