Note:

The

four

Primary

NTFS

Partition

partitioning

modules

are

for

use

with

I386

base

operating-system

modules

only.

Do

not

attempt

to

use

these

modules

with

any

other

type

of

base

operating-system

module.

For

details

about

the

Primary

NTFS

Partition

partitioning

modules

in

a

map,

see

“Special

considerations

for

I386

base

operating-system

modules”

on

page

82.

Additional

Note:

A

base

operating-system

module,

base

or

created,

using

Microsoft

ImageX

does

not

need

a

partitioning

module.

You

can

also

create

you

own

partitioning

modules

to

create

one

or

more

data

partitions

and

use

combinations

of

partitioning

modules

in

a

base

map

to

achieve

various

results.

For

detailed

instruction

on

preparing

the

source

files

for

a

partitioning

module,

see

“Preparing

source

files

for

a

partitioning

module”

on

page

156.

You

can

insert

a

partitioning

module

into

a

base

map

in

either

of

the

following

ways:

v

Insert

the

partitioning

module

in

the

right

pane

of

the

Base

Map

window

at

the

root-entry

level.

You

use

this

implementation

when

you

want

the

partitioning

module

to

be

used

on

all

target

computers

that

use

the

map,

regardless

of

what

menu

items

are

selected

from

the

installation

menus.

v

Insert

the

partitioning

module

in

the

right

pane

of

the

Base

Map

window

at

a

menu-item

level.

You

use

this

implementation

if

you

want

the

use

of

the

partitioning

module

to

be

contingent

on

the

selection

of

a

menu

item

during

the

installation

process.

For

example,

one

menu

selection

can

result

in

deleting

all

user

partitions

while

a

different

menu

selection

can

result

in

deleting

the

C

partition

only

and

preserving

any

other

data

partitions

that

might

exist.

The

following

illustration

shows

an

example

of

a

base

map

that

installs

a

common

data

partition

to

all

target

computers

that

use

this

map.
