Sorry, but you can't. $1 is the partition that you are installing Windows to and $$ is X:\Windows where as X:\ is where Windows is being installed. Even though I am a programmer, I don't have the time to write a application that copys all your stuff. You could use one of the programs that copy other progams in the unattended CD/DVD Guide to copy it. The programs are located in the Advanced Section of the guide. Hope I was any help to you. Nipa
