Try using the /t:E switch if you're starting your installation with
winnt.exe. If you're using winnt32.exe to start your installation use the
/tempdrive:E switch. That insures that the installation files are copied and
installed on the E drive. Your use of the AutoPartition entry in the Data
section is incorrect. AutoPartion simply uses the next available partition
which in your case is D.

I haven't tried this but I think you need to edit your winnt.bat file and
add the /tempdrive:E switch to the winnt32.exe command.
