Well, the question is not about nlite itself or how to use it. Rather how I should "design" the setup in terms of partitions etc. For instance, what comments would you have on the following setup in a dual boot system. Drive 1: (2 x 250 MB SATA in RAID 0) P1 25 GB Win XP pro - dedicated P2 25 GB Win XP 64 - dedicated P3 450 GB Storage - My docs shared between XP pro and XP 64 (is this possible?) Drive 2: 300 GB IDE P1 10 GB pagefile - dedicated P2 290 GB Program files shared between XP pro and XP 64 (is this possible?)

Hello I am looking for the optimal partitioning/profiles/program files setup. Eventhough every (re)installation I make is supposed to be the last one, I tend ro reinstall windows every 3-4 months. I like concept of My Documents, Program files and all of that but I don't like the files to be stored on the same partition as my windows installation. Preferably - I guess - I would like to have a dedicated drive or partition for storage. As I recall it though, last time I tried to accomplish this I had some problems with the drive letter. Adding, removing drives (DVD, HD) screwed up the paths and I could not forsee the drive letter my storage drive would be assigned before having installed Windows. My questions: 1) Is there a general accepted best practice setup when it comes to storage? 2) How do I accomplish this when doing an unattended install (I use nlite)?
