the easiest way to hide it would be to setup a DFS replication and point the users to the DFS share
say you create contoso.corp as your dfs root
you can have your share on server1\software added to the DFS root
now you can point your users to contoso.corp\software, effectively masking the server and actual share

remeber that because this is beta there is still verification code running, integrity checks might take a little longer. If it prevent corruption in my WIMs i'll take the extra 10 seconds

is there any way to remove the built in 7 drivers, like can i use vlite and see if the bundle drivers in 7 is causing an issue?
if you removed the bundled drivers windows update would just pull them down again, alos what other drivers would you use? vista drivers for low level devices (ie disk, ICHR etc ) are not going to work on 7. i would try cluberti's advice and try with the beta 7000 build and see if you run into the same issues.

if you want to keep the same structure you are using now, install 2008 standard with Hyper-V. this will allow you to use your host OS (the physical machine) as the file server as you did before. While also being able to migrate all your VM's to hyperV

installing drivers some the DVD would be tricky, like cluberti said there is no variable to that the unattend.xml file can use to discover your CD-Rom, you would need to hardcode a Drive letter (x: is the normal PE drive) then you could add an offline stage to use X:\<source of drivers>. Cons of doing this would be if the drive letter changes your drivers and possibly installation will fail. you can add driver files to any folder (besides boot) or create a folder for them in the DVD structure.

or you can install from a XML file using the -inputpath switch
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ServerManagerConfiguration Action="Install" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sdm/Windows/ServerManager/Configuration/2007/1" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<RoleService Id="FS-DFS-Namespace" />
<Feature Id="Backup" />Can you please expain, what you meant by inputpath. Am trying to install server roles/features using xml unattendedly, but dont know how to install servermanager features using xml. I did copy and pasted the above scripts to my Autounattend.xml, but installation fails.
Please help/advice
Thank you
a sample XML would be something like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ServerManagerConfiguration Action="Install" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sdm/Windows/ServerManager/Configuration/2007/1" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<RoleService Id="FS-DFS-Namespace" />
<Feature Id="Backup" />
</ServerManagerConfiguration>looking at your code you don't have the ending </servermanagerConfiguration> tag. like most XML, you need to keep it properly represented with an ending tag for a matching start tag
Another option is to use the MDT toolkit, they have an entire GUI interface to choose roles/feature that are available in 2008.

well you have 2 option
option 1: add the drivers to the DVD source prior to building the DVD, you can look through the WAIK help file, it is list as Phase 5: service an offline image, These steps will allow you to create and anwser file with all the packes you would like to intergrate into your image. that way you don't have to install them each time you use the image, or have a network location for accessing them
option 2: like cluberti said, change the letter path to a network path and allow access for the image to update the installation duing install. this works great in a networked envirnoment but not so much if you only have one PC

VSS is the volume shadow copy service that XP. Vista and 7 use to copy, move and back files that are in use, the service is normally set to a manual launch state and is started when another service or application calls it.

you won't see much of a speed improvement by partitioning the disk into 2 partitions, (still has to manage the whole 100 gig) i would stick with the single partition just from the stance in a partition fials normally these days it is cause the disk is going bad, which means that all your partitions are dead
but to each his own0 -
i don't believe that functionality is available in vista itself to backup to tape, you will need to find a 3rd party app that will allow you to back up to it

please don't double post with the same issue,
Have you actually verified that you have the latest drivers? find your chipset in device manager and go out to Intels website, download and install the latest drivers just to verify they are installd

what kind of errors are you seeing in the event logs? is this an actual dial-up connection? or connecting over broadband?

It also maybe worth while to download the Windows 7 WAIK which in fact has documentation on the WISM and all the related tools needed to service and manage a windows 7 image.
i do like how they setup all the command for easy migration to powershell
