Windows XP Pro setup formats drive as e: instead of c:

  • Thread starter Thread starter sam
  • Start date Start date
S

sam

I have installed Windows XP pro sp1 to several machines
that have Zip drives, and setup formats the drive and
installs windows on e: and the zip drive is named c:

Any tips on how I can prevent this from happening?
Also I am using a winnt.sif file for unattended install.

Thanks!
 
No, you'll have to start over and delete all partitions, reformat
