Remove Drive Letter

[Guest]

Hey there, I'm a system build, clearly, and I've worked up a system restore
style program that resizes my install partition and creates an image of the
drive onto it. Then I send a disk with my customers that they can put in to
restore their machine from that image.

Now, the image on the restore partition is a sealed image, why?, so I can
use it to restore to multiple machines and they've all got sealed images.

So here's the problem. When I send out the machines, I remove the drive
letter from the restore partition so they cannot access it. However, if they
do the restore when they get it, the windows initialization (since it's a
sealed copy) puts the drive letter back on. Not a huge deal, except the
partition size is always within 100mb of the image, so they get low disk
space warnings.

So the question... Is there any way I can set the Initialization wizard to
not assign that partition a drive letter? -or- is there a RunOnce I can put
on that partition to remove that drive letter after it reboots?

Any suggestions would help me out a lot.

Thx in advance.
