24.Click Finish. The module has now been created.<br />
Tip: Once this module has been tested, you will want to promote it to a “gold” state. When<br />
a module is in gold state, it is locked and no additional changes can be made. This<br />
prevents unwanted modification of modules you know have been verified for functionality.<br />
1.14 Creating a partitioning module<br />
A partitioning module is a special type of operating-system module that has the following<br />
purposes:<br />
► To delete one or more user partitions before installing an image<br />
► To create an additional data partition on the target computer beyond the C partition - see<br />
section below.<br />
► To preserve one or more pre-existing data partitions on a target computer<br />
► To disable the default partitioning behavior of the <strong>ImageUltra</strong> <strong>Builder</strong> program<br />
Important: Understand that the order in which these partitioning modules are installed is<br />
extremely important. You set the order in the Install Sequence tab of the base-map Map<br />
Settings window (see “Install Sequence tab” on page 78).<br />
By default, the <strong>ImageUltra</strong> <strong>Builder</strong> program automatically deletes all user partitions on the<br />
target computer as a starting point for installation. You can override the default behavior or<br />
make the behavior dependent on a menu selection through the use of partitioning<br />
modules.The <strong>ImageUltra</strong> <strong>Builder</strong> program provides three ready-to-use partitioning modules in<br />
the root node of the repository. With the help of an imaging cloning tool like Symantec<br />
DeployCenter, you can also generate your own partitioning modules using script files:<br />
► DrivePrep - Delete All Partitions: This partitioning module is designed to delete all user<br />
partitions on the target computer hard disk before the new image is installed.<br />
► DrivePrep - Delete C Partition Only: This partitioning module is designed to preserve<br />
pre-existing data partitions on a target computer and use the space previously used by the<br />
C partition for the new image.<br />
