Ok, After spending the last few days working on this I seem to have all of my Issues with the creation of users fixed... My uA CD is coming along well.. however... i STILL have it installing to my D drive. I have read that I can use the winnt.bat file to run the winnt.exe command and use the /t:<drive> to make sure that windows Installs on the proper drive, yet now I have 2 issues with THIS... 1. It seems that the only way that I can run the /t switch is through either a script or command prompt. however, i dont want to run it from a floppy so, Will placing thw winnt.bat file in the i386 folder run the batch file in leu of the .exe? or does the exe have priority 2. Would it be possible to edit the Way winnt.exe runs from the cd? I would like to be able to tell it to use the /t switch automatically Without having to use a floppy or use the Batch file at all if possible. The way I had my Computer configured before was both hard drives on the same IDE0 ibbon and Both CD roms On IDE1, In an attempt to force XP to install on C instead of D I changed the Drives so I have 1 HDD and 1 Cd on each Ribbon and still no go. ANOTHER problem i had when i was testing all of this.. and the batch file was ran from Floppy was That windows Text Setup copied a few files to the correct drive.. Yet before The progress bar came up for file copy progress (still in text mode here) The HDD was working frantically and Setup Said "please wait wile windows copies files to your hard Drive" So, i waited... All night... just left the darn thing on all night... came back this AM and still on same screen, hard drive Frantically doing SOMETHING, But I dont know what. I ran across this same problem on another forum somewhere But no one gave him an answer on that at all. was hoping to discover an answer here in case i DO auctually have to wind up using that batch Thanks in advance. matt
