Hello, First of all, thanks to all contributor of this forum. Lots of info in here. Excellent. I'm now doing lots of installs and I have a good understanding and use of unattended install for WXP. Now, I'd like to see if there is a way to install windows 100% from a network share (or whatever) on the lan. Ideally, I'd like to end up by getting rid of CDs and DVDs and just have a floopy to trigger the install. I've searched around for this kind of method but I have'nt found any guide or tutorial. Any idea? Thanks Flob

Dear all, I'd like to know a command or a tool which allows me to add a silent format of a said partition during my unattended install of WXP. A command line would be superb. Thanks !

OK. I've found another way. The profile directory can be set through the "net user" command, which is exactly what I need.

I did not say that the ProfilesDir does not work, I've said that it's not doing what I want. ProfilesDir might overwrite the existing things I already have. I want to reuse the "Documents and settings" if I have to reinstall my system... this way I only reinstall the system drive and I keep my parameters, bookmarks, email, desktop icons, My Docs... and so on. Maybe there are some other ways to do it ?

Hello, I'm looking for a way to move the "Document and Settings" folder to another partition during an unattended install of WXP SP2. For instance, I'd like to copy this folder to d: and make Windows use it from this location, (an not c: any more) I must say that setting the variable in the WINNT.SIF does not fit my need (I don't want this folder to be blindly overwritten) How can I do this ? Thanks to the WXP gurus !
