USB has Drive C

[tilla]

Hi All,

I have searched through the forums and google and not having much luck with a solution to my issue.

I am looking at moving to WINPE 2.0 and using IMAGEX for all of my imaging uses replacing Ghost.

The issue I have is that I want to fully automate the whole process from diskpart to applying the image.

If an empty disk is put into the PC, when PE loads ub from Bootable USB drive that takes drive C which means that Drive C is in use and cant be imaged to.

How can I ensure that my USB drive boots up using say Drive K: ?

I am also looking for a free way to do this ;-)

Thanks in advance...

Well.... you can just tell imagex to apply or capture to another letter besides c:

Its ok, I managed to write a little scipt that detects if it is the usb as c:

If it is then it goes into diskpart, creates a part and then reboots.

Once loaded back in all is good :-)

wouldn't it be easier to change the UFD drive letter with diskpart?

diskpart

sel disk 1

assign letter=K

sel disk 0

cre part pri

act

assign letter=c

sel vol c:

format fs=ntfs quick

exit
