new single partition using all available space on the hard disk, formats the new

partition, and sets the new partition as bootable in preparation for installing the

Windows Vista operating system.

v Windows 7 Primary Partition: This partition module is for use with

Ultra-Portable Images that use Windows 7 operating-system modules for

Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit. It deletes existing user partitions, establishes a new

single partition using all available hard disk space, formats the new partition,

and sets the new partition as bootable in preparation for installing the Windows

7 operating system.

Note: The five 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 created from Microsoft ImageX

does not need a partitioning module.

You can also create your 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 158.

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.
