I'm trying to create an unattended installation that moves my \Documents and Settings\ folder to my D: drive. I've done this before by using the Deploy.cab facility from Microsoft and saving the file as winnt.sif which worked a treat.

Now however I'm using a version of Windows XP that has a strict txtsetup.sif file! This means If I include winnt.sif then the txtsetup.sif file is ignored in favour of the new one.

If however I save the file as the more common unattend.txt then THAT file gets ignored!

All I want to do is move the D&S folder to a different partition, can someone please help with this?

Cheers in advance.

Mike Halsey, not positive about this, but I suspect that Windows gets it's panties in a bunch if you try to delete the folder as it may be a Windows file. What happens if you simply copy rather than move? As updates occur, new copies would reflect that.

Hi

Have sent you an email mike.

Not sure if it's what you need?

If you move that folder you would probbaly need to install the OS on the D drive instead of on your C drive.

Oh, and the "Winnt.sif" files work just fine in an unattended installation (I use one just about every other day to do installs)...
