Hi All
I am trying to make a standard image of my Dell Optiplex PCs so I can roll
out XP, and more importantly re-install one easily if I need to.
I have got everything set up nicely and run Set Up Manager that comes with
Sysprep to create my setup file. Then run Sysprep reseal for the users.
The problem is that when it starts up again it has swapped round my drive
letters for D: and E: which means that the software then won't work
properly.
My set up is as follows:
Drive C: <No Volume Label> - Primary Partition for Windows XP set as active
Drive D: <Pagefile> - Primary Partition that holds my pagefile.
Drive E: <Apps & Data> - Logical drive in an extended partition that holds
all my apps software.
I am using Norton Ghost to make the images and originally thought it was
that. But then rather than re-installing the image on the PC I just let it
boot up again, after the initial Sysprep, and it still happened.
Does anyone have any ideas???
If all I had to do after install was change the drive letters I wouldn't
mind, but with the pagefile origianlly being on D: Windows has a bit of a
fit and needs to be rebooted about 5 times whilst making the changes to set
it back to normal.
Thanks in advance
