Building a Virtual Hard Disk to Boot any PC or TC
HDD now has a UbiBoot-enabled Windows installation in its
system partition.
9
Connect the target HDD to the platform whose hardware is to be
detected in order to add support for it.
10 Switch on the PC or TC so that it boots off the target HDD. Win-
dows will automatically detect the new hardware configuration
and may ask you to provide driver media (CD-ROM) or reboot
the PC or TC - do so when prompted.
If you experience any problems during this phase, please refer to
the section "HAL Considerations" on page 113.

Apply any required patches, new drivers, or chipset utility.

Check in the Windows Device Manager that all the hardware
has been installed successfully and is working correctly. (Right

13 When all the hardware is working as expected, use Client
Builder to create an image of the system partition. That image
may now be used as a bootable virtual hard disk on any PC or
TC of both hardware configurations.
If you need to add another hardware configuration, run UbiBoot
in the newly created image and click
tual drive to the actual HDD. Then repeat steps 7 to 12.
14
Once all the required hardware has been recognized by the Win-
dows configuration, it is recommended that the resulting virtual
hard disk be defragmented.
15
This virtual hard disk is now bootable on all hardware configu-
rations that have been used in steps 7 through 12. It may also be
cloned onto a hard disk that may be used to boot Windows 2000/
XP/XP Pro on those different hardware configurations (or the
actual target HDD in its latest state can be used for this purpose).
