Txtsetup.sif amended and usb group starts earlier, thus in case of USB hard disk it's detected and a drive letters given at start of GUI.
The rest is as per cdob's last post.

I think I've found another workaround for the missing drive letters at start of GUI:
Add to setup.cmd, right above
http://www.uwe-siebe...les/unmnt10.zip
Only mnt.exe is needed. In case of x64 place it in SysWow64 folder and change mnt.exe to %systemroot%\SysWow64\mnt.exe in setup.cmd.
txtsetup.sif:
32 bit:
64 bit:
Worked in XP 32 bit and 2003 64 bit, haven't checked 2000 yet, for the tests USB entries in txtsetup.sif were not modified, left them as in the original.
No silly warnings because of the empty USB card reader slots too.
Add to setup.cmd, right above
echo no %TAGFILE% drive found
FOR /L %%G IN (0,1,20) DO ( mnt.exe Y: \device\harddisk%%G\partition1 dir Y:%TAGFILE% > nul 2>&1 && set CDDRIVE=Y: if defined CDDRIVE goto :CDDRIVE_found )

Only mnt.exe is needed. In case of x64 place it in SysWow64 folder and change mnt.exe to %systemroot%\SysWow64\mnt.exe in setup.cmd.
txtsetup.sif:
32 bit:
mnt.exe=1,,,,,,,2,0,0
64 bit:
mnt.exe=55,,,,,,,82,0,0
