Hi

can I use this unattended method with an XP Pro Upgrade disc? I'm trying to
move the Docs & Settings, Program Files and Program Files\Common Files to a
D drive.

I've tried to do so twice but in fails on line 12 of:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
AutoPartition=0
MsDosInitiated="0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
UnattendMode=ProvideDefault
OemPreinstall=No
TargetPath=\WINDOWS
ProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files"
CommonProgramFilesDir=""D:\Program Files\Common Files"

[GuiUnattended]
EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
OEMSkipRegional=0
ProfilesDir="D:\Documents and Settings\"

[UserData]
ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
FullName="My Name"
OrgName=""

[RegionalSettings]
LanguageGroup=1

[Identification]
JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP

[Networking]
InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

[Components]
msmsgs=off
msnexplr=off

I'm not sure what to ignore when counting the lines here. If this is the
productkey, it works fine during a manual install.

I'm going to try again on a newly ordered h/d (SP2 slip streamed to CDRW)
but am not sure if I will need to create the D drive 1st then these folders
on D or quite what I need to do apart from changing the AutoPartition line
perhaps. Thanks for your time.

Yes, it's possible to do this from an Upgrade CD which I've now achieved.
Line 12 referred to:

CommonProgramFilesDir=""D:\Program Files\Common Files"

I removed the 1st quote mark with the much appreciated help from the
moderator of Unattended MSFN forum:

Further help can be found:

If wishing to move the Program Files folder, the Common Files folder *must*
also be specified in the winnt.sif file or it will remain behind.
