Figured it out -- somehow the luna.msstyles file got renamed to luna.mst. I looked in luna.theme and discovered it was looking for a luna.msstyles file, renamed luna.mst to luna.msstyles, and everything worked.

I don't think so -- at least, I didn't mean to. What settings do you change to remove the theme or disable changing themes?

I just completed my first unattended WinXP Pro installation. Windows boots into the Classic theme, and when I try to switch to the WinXP standard Luna theme in the Display Properties dialog, nothing happens. I've checked the Services manager and the Themes service is running. I've also tried browsing directly to the Luna.theme file in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and that doesn't work either. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks Iceman. That's great. Very helpful. Last question: when my diskpart script runs, will Windows have already assigned drive letters according to the algorithm you outlined? (If so, I will know which drives will have which letters so I can write my diskpart script accordingly.) Thanks again.

OK, thanks. Both of those make sense, but I guess that's why I'm stuck. I don't know how Windows determines the drive letter for a partition, and I don't know where in the unattended configuration I should insert a diskpart script to get it to run at the right time, T-39 as you said. I'd rather do it the diskpart way, if I can, so I have two questions about that. First, where should I insert the script in the configuration to get it to run at the right time? Is cmdlines.txt the right place? It seems like that would run too late, but I'm not sure. Second, I don't understand how to tell diskpart which partition to change the letter of. I guess it will run after the partition and format step of the setup, so windows should already have assigned drive letters to the partitions I created, and I suppose I could do an install without diskpart and just see what drive letters get assigned, then use those in my diskpart script to reassign letters. Would that work? Thanks a lot for your help.

I'm doing an unattended install of WinXP. I'm trying to get the Program Files directory to install to D:\Program Files, and the Documents and Settings directory to install to E:\Profiles. I've made the correct settings in UNATTEND.TXT, so when I go through with the installation it does think that's where things should go, but it doesn't have the right drive letters at the beginning of the install process, so either files get put in the wrong places or don't get installed at all. How can I assign drive letters to the right partitions before the setup program proceeds with the installation? Thanks a lot.
