i have netbook with 4gb ssd for windows installation. i need to reinstall it so the documents and settings is on main hard drive (100gb) and program files are also on main drive. got my xp installation, and I extracted iso into actual folder with winrar, searched for WINNT.sif i put the following commands under the unattandedgui section: ProfilesDir = D:\ Programfilesdir = D:\ then i took the folder and rebuilt it with imgburn and i got the edited iso to boot. then when installation came, i chose to install on ssd 4 gig, installation was going good, then reboot, error came saying: setup log file corrupt, please provide more information fatal error. and some other error i forget. i tried this with two other copies of windows that i had, but it still doesnt work? how do i modify the windows installation unattanded to change profiles dri and prgoram files dir to different path? i already read the kb article on profiles dir and it didnt help. i got an iso of windows xp. extracted it with winrar looked at the new folder that was extracted, searched for WINNT.SIF edited with notepad: under the [unattendedgui] i put profilesdir = D:\ and programfilesdir = D:\ saved it went to imgburn and i built a iso from the folder again it said i had to get an image from the actual iso, so i mounted the iso(the original one) on a virtual drive, extraced the bootfile and added it into my new project and then i made the new iso using iso9660(cant remember exact iso format) and joliet burned the new iso on to disc booted it in the netbook reformatted ssd and main drive reparitioned unallocated space installed main windows installation to ssd (since i had the winnt edited im thinking that it would place programfiles and profiles on the main hard drive (D:\) did the normal install rebooted got error setup failed to install product catalogs. then i tried using this: http://www.ntfs.com/iso_image_edit.htm and still got the error. i tried an installation without modifying it and it worked. i think that the error is due to the way that i extract and rebuild the iso to edit it. . here is the winnt.sif: [Data] AutomaticUpdates="No" Autopartition=0 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=DefaultHide UnattendSwitch="No" OemPreinstall="No" OemSkipEula="Yes" ComputerType="Standard PC", Retail FileSystem=* WaitForReboot="No" NoWaitAfterTextMode=1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1 DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore Hibernation="No" ProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files" CommonProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files\Common Files" [setupData] OSLoadOptionsVar="/noexecute=alwaysoff" [systemRestore] DisableSR=1 CreateFirstRunRp=0 [GuiUnattended] TimeZone=130 OEMSkipRegional=1 OemSkipWelcome=1 ProfilesDir="D:\Documents and Settings\" [Components] [userData] ProductKey="my key" [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale="0409" UserLocale="0409" UserLocale_DefaultUser="0409" InputLocale="0409:00000409" InputLocale_DefaultUser="0409:00000409" [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents="Yes" [WindowsFirewall] Profiles=WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall [WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode=0 [identification] JoinWorkgroup="WORKGROUP"
