Unattended install, partitions and drive letters.

[Dale Walker]

I've partitioned a drive into four areas (system, scratch, program and
data).

How can I do an unattended install so that...

Windows folder goes to the "System" partition (C:\)
Program Files folder goes to "Programs" partition (P:\)
Documents and Settings goes to "Data" (D:\)
pagefile and temp goes to "scratch" (T:\)

Not too worried about the scratch one as that's trivial to move after
install.

I know how to install the files into the right partitions (not sure
what'll happen about skipped partition though) but having real
problems assigning non sequential drive letters to the partitions. I

Any ideas?

P.S. Do you reckon the pagefile would be better off between system and
programfiles or between Programfiles and data?

The windows folder location is controlled by the TargetPath entry in
the [Unattended] section

The Program Files location is controlled by the ProgramFilesDir entry
in the [Unattended] section

The Document and Settings folder (profiles) is controlled by the
ProfilesDir entry in the [GUIUnattended] section

FWIK you cannot change the pagefile location using unattend
parameters...

One thing that would be difficult to control is the driveletters
assigned to the various partitions...unattended setup only allows for
creation of one partiton (if you dont create them first, and then use
repartition=no)
