Introduction to Altiris® Boot Disk Creator
You can edit all other files within a configuration as needed. However, after you edit a
configuration, Boot Disk Creator rewrites certain files within the configuration so that
drive mappings and mount points are always updated. The following files are rewritten
after editing configurations:
DOS - mapdrv.bat, unmapdrv.bat
Linux - mounts.local
WinPE - mapdrv.bat
See
New Configuration Wizard
on page 275 and
Install Pre-boot Operating System Files
on page 288.
Additional Files
Boot Disk Creator lets you add additional files to folders that apply either to a specific
configuration or to all configurations of the same type of pre-boot operating system.
However, any files you add to the global
<
OS
> additional files
folders are written to
the boot image before the specific configuration files. If a file in the
<
OS
> additional
files
folder has the same name as a file in a specific configuration folder, it is
overwritten.
Example: If a file named 5684_Drivers resides in the DOS additional files folder, and a
file with the same name, 5684_Drivers, exists in a specific configuration folder; when
the files are written to a boot image, the file in the configuration folder overwrites the
file in the DOS additional files folder. This may cause unexpected results. If you edit text
files in a
<
OS
> additional files
folder, yet the specific configuration file is the one that
is written to the boot image, the result is not as you expected.
Add files to all configuration
When you install a pre-boot operating system, a new folder is added to the bottom of
the left pane on the main page of Boot Disk Creator. If you install pre-boot operating
system files and the
<
OS
> additional files
folders do not appear, press F5 to refresh
Boot Disk Creator. The following folders appear:
z
DOS additional files
z
Linux additional files
z
WinPE additional files
Boot Disk Creator copies the files from the
<
OS
> additional files
folders to all
corresponding operating system configurations and adds these files to the boot images.
These folders are considered global, since they can affect configurations of the same
type.
Example: You can use the Windows Copy and Paste command to add tracert.exe to the
WinPE additional files folder. Each WinPE configuration you create adds the files in the
WinPE additional files folder to the boot image.
Add files to a specific configuration
If you want to add files to a specific configuration
only
and do not want to use the global
feature of the
<
OS
> additional files
folders, do the following:
1. Right-click a configuration in the left pane and select
New > Folder
. A new
subfolder is created in the left pane.
2. Enter a name for the folder so that you know these are added files.
3. To add files to the
<
OS
> additional files
folder, do one of the following methods:
