I have a question with MCE2005 and setup.

I am looking to setup mce unattend but i want to put my all program files on a seperate partition and my Documents and Settings on 3rd seperate paration.

I have two hard drives, 1st WD 36gb, 2nd WD 200gb. I would like to have windows on 1st drive, Programs on 40 gb partiton of 200, then Docs and \settings on rest of 2nd drive.

I would like to have Windows partition= C:, Programs= P:, Docs and Settings= Q: . :wacko:

Am I making any sence yet.

So my question is can I have all this done with a totaly unattend setup.

I have been able to move the Docs folder before But serious pain in the but. :wacko:

Would be easier to have done while settng up windows.

The reason I would need do do this is that I have 1 game that takes up 5GB, not to mention my music files = 25gb.

PSS. I do not want my windows on 200gb-Too Slow.. :no:

If you want to move the default location of:

Program Files

Common Program Files

Documents and Setting

you have to partition and format the drive BEFORE running the Unattended Setup because only the Windows destination drive gets formated.

[Unattended]
   ProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files"
   CommonProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files\Common Files"

[GuiUnattended]
   ProfilesDir="E:\Documents and Settings\"

Stupid question?

If I partition and format them first, then with setup can i make the partitions be something other than D: And E:. I like to use P: and Q:. Or does windows automatically assign them D and E.

Thank you for any and all help.

If you are making primary partitions, they will follow each other

C: D: E: F: etc...

If you are making primary + logical partition it will be like this:

C: PRIMARY D: LOGICAL, etc... and if there is other primary partition, they will be placed after the logical partition E: PRIMARY, etc...

First, what does this have to do with unattended windows?

Next see forum rules, #12

Very often we see meaningless subjects in topic title. They give no clue of what the posts are all about. For example:

- Oh no!

- Help

- I'm mad

- Please help

- Question

- I need your help

- Hmmmm ....

This should be avoided. Users should enter something more specific in topic title so that it is easier for others to help.
