Installing XP on Dynamic Disks

[Guest]

Hey,

I have a notebook with 2 100GB SATA HDD's ideally I want to make them
striped but it doesnt look like XP supports having boot/system volume on
striped volume.

So what I want to do is create the following dynamic disks:
C: 7GB partition (system/boot)
D: 186GB striped partition
E: 7GB partion

I then want to install windows in C: but I want to change the path of 'Docs
& Settings' and 'Program Files' to D: and I will put the pagefile on E:

Can I change the installation path of Program Files and Documents and
Settings, I have seen notes online suggesting I can.... If so, can I use a
striped dynamic volume during install?

Any help on the most optimal setup please...

Regards,
Jordan Moss

I have attempted an installation using an unattended install file to
put "Documents and Settings" and "Program Files" on E: which is my
dynamic striped volume. I had no issues during the text or UI section
of setup however first boot just BSOD everytime.

I love the way it flashes it up for like 500ms then restarts makes
noting the error codes so easy, luckly burst mode on my camera can
catch it.

It fails with STOP: 0x0000007B (0xBACCF524, 0xC0000034 ...

Any ideas anyone?
