Guest tjabobom Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I have a problem when I use PE to deploying XP, I use diskpart and formatto fix the harddisk I want to make two partitions c: (sys) and d: (vol1). But when PE boot up it some time take d: I think it take the first free letter.. Well it meen that when the diskpart script run it cant format and assign d: to the hard drive..So I would like the PE/cdrom to use a static drive letter (ex: X:).. I cant find an example with google...So now I try you guys....../Per Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbouchard Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I do not believe there is a way to set which letter PE will use, but you could write a script and include it in your run once that will run diskpart and configure the D drive after the OS has been installed. You may need to move the CD to E but I am have not done that before.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piro Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 @tjabobomThe drive letters set by WinPE are temporary, so you can assign your partition the E: drive letter and once you reboot to your normal Windows it'll reassign this partition the D: drive letter.A better solution is to build your WinPE using WinXP slipstreamed with SP2 (you'll need the latest OPK or build it using bart's pe builder), and WinPE CD will take the X: drive letter by default (this is based on users requests and also to match the same case when you boot WinPE from a RIS server).piro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4tt3 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hi Per..PE does take the first avaiable drive letter for assignment! However, when it comes down to your issue with diskpart of the D: drive, you just add /noerr switch ( i think ) to your diskpart script. This will enable the diskpart script to continue running through the script even if there is no d: drive available on the computer.Think that will sort you out if I understood your question right....Take care...
