Special

considerations

for

Windows

Vista

base

operating-system

modules

The

Windows

Vista

base

operating-system

module

is

the

core

element

of

an

Ultra-Portable

Image

that

can

be

deployed

and

installed

on

Lenovo

branded

and

non-Lenovo

branded

computers,

regardless

of

hardware

configurations.

However,

whenever

a

map

contains

a

Windows

Vista

base

operating-system

module,

that

map

also

must

contain

the

following

modules:

v

An

appropriate

Primary

NTFS

Partition

partitioning

module

for

the

operating

system

being

installed

v

The

ImageUltra

Builder

4.0

Windows

Vista

Customizations

module

v

The

ImageUltra

Builder

4.0

Windows

Vista

Servicing

Tools

Note:

The

Sysprep

module

is

used

in

conjunction

with

building

an

Ultra-Portable

Image

for

Windows

Vista,

and

needs

to

be

placed

in

the

C:/SWWORK/SYSPREP

folder.

v

An

UNATTEND.XML

module

for

Windows

Vista

for

the

operating

system

and

language

being

installed

These

modules

are

designed

to

be

used

in

conjunction

with

Windows

Vista

base

operating-system

modules

only.

Do

not

attempt

to

use

these

modules

in

conjunction

with

any

other

type

of

base

operating-system

module.

Primary

NTFS

Partition

partitioning

module

The

ImageUltra

Builder

program

provides

four

variations

of

the

Primary

NTFS

Partition

partitioning

modules:

v

Windows

XP

Pro

Primary

Partition

v

Windows

XP

Home

Primary

Partition

v

Windows

2000

Primary

Partition

v

Windows

Vista

Primary

Partition

Primary

NTFS

Partition

partitioning

modules

are

responsible

for

creating

the

primary

partition,

formatting

the

primary

partition,

and

setting

the

primary

partition

as

bootable

in

preparation

for

the

operating

system

installation.

These

modules

are

provided

as

part

of

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

and

are

ready

to

use

without

modification.

Because

each

of

these

partitioning

modules

is

unique

to

a

specific

operating

system,

but

has

no

dependency

on

language,

insert

the

appropriate

Primary

NTFS

Partition

partitioning

module

under

the

menu

item

used

to

select

the

operating

system.

If

your

map

is

designed

to

install

only

one

type

of

operating

system

(Windows

XP

Home,

Windows

XP

Professional,

Windows

2000,

or

Windows

Vista)

and

all

installations

are

done

using

I386

base

operating-system

modules,

you

can

insert

the

appropriate

Primary

NTFS

Partition

partitioning

module

under

the

root

entry.

ImageUltra

Customizations

module

The

ImageUltra

Customizations

module

contains

the

ImageUltra

Customization

program,

which

provides

the

hooks

required

for

the

Ultra-Portable

Images

to

make

use

of

applications

and

device

drivers

defined

in

maps.

The

ImageUltra

Customizations

module

is

provided

as

part

of

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

and

is

ready

to

use

without

modification.

Because

the

ImageUltra

Customizations

module

is

operating-system

independent

and

language

independent,

you

have

a

lot

of

latitude

as

to

where

you

can
