CyberPhunk

CyberPhunk, I can't see anything obvious, but I cannot see several things, such as your creating a user account. You can post your Last Session_U.ini, but please purge it of your key and all other private information. Earlier, I asked if you had run nLite more than once. Running nLite more than once against the same source can definitely lead to your symptoms. Please see my earlier post. Enjoy, John. Every time I started out to run nLite I copied the source files off the WinXP install disk. I'll edit my last session_U and post it. *edit* There ya go. LAST SESSION_U.INI

CyberPhunk, glad to hear the paths are working for you. I do a Fully Automatic install, specifying all my settings and I receive no request for data during install and all my settings are applied. Please ask specific questions and attach your latest Last Session if you want further help. Enjoy, John. 'K, will do. This is the last session file for the install that finally got the paths to work. I'm pretty sure I set it up to run fully automatically, but I had to set the time zone, User info, and a couple others I can't recall atm. Any idea as to why it didn't run automatically? LAST SESSION.INI

Will give this an attempt, can't hurt. I'll try fully unattended next attempt. I was going with GUI because I wasn't sure if the drivers for my sata drives were getting integrated correctly or not. If it works, then I'll go through the process of trimming it down a bit and finish this process finally. Yay, one of those options worked. "Program Files" and "Documents and Settings" are both now on the E: drive. The only issue I had was that even though I had set it up to run totally autonomously I still had to input some of the settings manually during install and not all of the settings were implemented. I'm not complaining though, because the major issue has been fixed.

CyberPhunk, please look in your I386 folder of your nLited folder and find a file called winnt.sif. Open it with notepad and look for ProgramFilesDir keyword and see if your value is set. You can post this data if you like, but be sure it does not contain any private information. Do you really have an E disk? Is it formated in NTFS? Have you run nLite more than once against the same source folder? You should always start with a fresh copy of your original CD files/folders and run nLite only one time. Enjoy, John. The hard drive is separated into four partitions, primary for the OS and three logical for swap file, programs and settings, and storage. All 4 are formatted as NTFS. I've been using a new copy of the install files each time. Found the file, and it seems it is saving my settings, but not applying them. Tried a new attempt with just the WinXP pro disk and the directory changes. Still didn't work. The lastsession.ini from that attempt is attached. Maybe those with more experience could figure it out. WINNT.SIF LAST SESSION.INI

Hmm, having some issues here. Trying to setup WinXP Pro to install "program files" and "documents and settings" directories on drives separate from the OS files. "Docs and settings" works just fine, but every time I build the disk, "Program Files" is installed on the c: drive. Any ideas? Last build all I did was slipstream SP3 and change the directories. *edit* Wasn't sure which session ini file to include, so added both LAST SESSION.INI
