prepare

a

drive

(see

“Using

a

partitioning

module

in

a

base

map”

on

page

96

for

details),

but

you

must

make

your

own

partitioning

modules

to

create

a

partition

beyond

the

C

partition.

In

most

cases,

you

use

an

image-cloning

tool,

such

as

Symantec

Norton

Ghost

or

PowerQuest

DeployCenter,

to

create

an

image

of

the

partition,

but

you

can

also

create

a

batch

file

if

the

partition

will

be

empty.

The

starting

point

for

creating

a

partitioning

module

is

to

decide

whether

or

not

the

partitioning

module

will

contain

data.

v

If

the

partition

is

to

contain

data,

you

use

an

image-cloning

tool

to

create

an

image

of

the

partition.

Then,

you

put

the

image

of

the

partition,

the

image-cloning

program,

and

any

scripts

required

to

install

an

image

into

a

single

folder.

v

If

the

partition

will

not

contain

data,

you

can

use

an

image-cloning

tool

to

create

the

scripts

required

to

create

the

partition.

Then,

you

put

the

image-cloning

program

and

any

script

into

a

single

folder.

The

next

step

is

to

create

an

operating-system

module

entry

in

the

repository.

1.

Open

the

repository

where

you

want

the

new

partitioning

module

to

reside.

2.

If

your

repository

contains

folders,

navigate

to

the

folder

where

you

want

the

new

base

operating-system

module

to

reside.

3.

From

the

Main

Window

menu

bar,

click

Insert

and

then

click

Operating

System...

.

The

New

Module

Wizard

opens.

4.

Click

Next

.

5.

Verify

that

the

Operating

System

radio

button

is

selected,

and

then

click

Next

.

6.

In

the

Name

field,

type

a

name

that

you

want

to

use

to

identify

this

module.

Be

as

specific

as

possible.

This

name

will

be

the

name

that

appears

in

the

repository.

7.

Click

the

No

radio

button

to

indicate

that

this

module

is

not

a

container.

8.

Click

Next

.

9.

Click

Next

without

selecting

any

of

the

modules

listed.

10.

Click

the

Partitioning

module

radio

button.

11.

Click

Next

.

12.

Click

Finish

.

The

New

Module

Wizard

closes

and

the

Operating

System

window

for

the

new

module

opens.

13.

In

the

General

tab,

do

the

following:

a.

In

the

Version

field,

type

the

full

version

number

of

the

operating

system.

b.

If

you

want

to

assign

a

password

to

this

module,

type

an

encryption

key

in

the

“Encryption

key

for

the

password”

field.

Note:

A

password

helps

prevent

the

module

from

being

unpacked

by

any

process

other

than

an

ImageUltra

Builder

process.

When

you

assign

an

encryption

key,

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

assigns

a

password

to

the

module.

Encryption

keys

can

be

up

to

64

characters

long

using

any

combination

of

alpha-numeric

characters.

Symbols

are

not

supported.

c.

In

the

Comments

field,

type

any

comments

that

you

want

to

keep

with

the

module.

14.

In

the

OS/Languages

tab,

do

the

following:

a.

In

the

left

pane,

put

a

check

mark

next

to

each

language

for

which

the

module

is

intended

to

be

used.

In

most

cases,

partitioning

modules

with

data

are

language

specific

and

only

one

language

is

typically

selected.
