Hi Everyone,

I am trying to change the default location of C:\Documents and Settings to D:\userdata. This is how my WintNt.sif looks like...Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Here is the error I get when installing XP.
Setup Couldnt register OLE control C:\Windows\system32\rsaenh.dll because of the following error DLLregisterserver returned error 2147943405

Thanks,
faisal

The partition D is already formatted?
Are you sure that the letter D doesn't correspond to the cdrom?

[faisalt]

No I didn't format partition D. Though, I have created it. I had the same feeling that it does not work for that reason. Do you think is there another way I could accomplish this? I like to have my D: partition exclusively for user data.

Thanks,
Syed

Is it possible to change the default location of C:\Documents and Settings to D:\ by running sysprep?

yes it is posible. You need to have a d drive first and has to be formatted. Run diskpart first to create your partitions and drive letters, then format the drives, then run your install.

Thanks, it worked!!

u could have used a simple reg key too.

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D ".cfg" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\$OEM$\xcopys.cmd" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 2 /D "REG ADD \"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\" /v \"Personal\" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d \"D:\midocs\" /f" /f

ask some script kid / man / woman to modify it to include conditional statement such as 'if d:\midocs exists, reg add..., if e:\ blabla blas blabla, if bla blas, bla. srry, i don't know poo about batches

edit: i'm asking scriptman/wonderwoman/breezaboi/breezagal to do it, as i would use it myself too
