ETPREP and HD2ISO

I am working on a Bootble CD project. My target is a dual boot system
Partition 1 500mb XPe FAT
Partition 2 3g partition W2k NTFS (safe build) contains hd2iso
Unused about 1.5 g

The first time I produced the bootable CD it booted and used C: for
its own file system and D: for partiton 1

The second time it booted and used C: for its own file system and F:
for partition 1. ???

Is this due to whatever etprep does after it runs?


2nd ?
I decided to completely re ghost my system using Symantec's ghostcast
program. Afterwards I downloaded my XPe image to Partition 1, booted
into the safe build and ran hd2iso. here is the result

HDISO error
Packaging ISO image. This will take several minutes.
Verifying Configuration... ERROR Could not read partition table of

Unfortunately I'm pretty much lost here. Hmmmmm Its seems that's not
unusual. But thats OK its all part of the job and I've got a lot of
experts here to help me... Thanks for your help
