Using multiple partitions in XP
I have clean-installed WinXP, and in the process I
created a separate D partition in addition to the C partition on which the OS resides. I now want to use the bigger D partition for user files and documents. Can anyone tell me how to allocate the D partition to be used for the Documents and Settings Folder which contains all the user data etc. KDK |

Using multiple partitions in XP
IF you haven't loaded too much onto your hard drive and willing to reformat
it you can try this This is a copy from a previous posting it works under Win2K and XP I think the articles are for W2k or Win2003 server but works the same in XP Pro You can use an unattended install to do this. You need to use Setupmgr.exe (located in the PRO\SUPPORT\TOOLS\DEPLOY.CAB file on the XP CD) to create an unattended install file. Then add the following line to the [GuiUNattended] section of the unattend.txt or winnt.sif file created by SetupMgr.exe ProfilesDir = z:\foldername (I think don't know for sure that z:\foldername would be D:\ Documents and settings) [GuiUNattended] ProfilesDir = z:\foldername http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...cb_ui_dmof.asp "KDK" wrote in message ...
