Smash Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 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: . 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. 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 If you want to move the default location of:Program FilesCommon Program FilesDocuments and Settingyou 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\" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 If you are making primary partitions, they will follow each otherC: 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...

prathapml Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 First, what does this have to do with unattended windows?Next see forum rules, #12Very 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
