I want documents & settings on my "D" drive

[No_One]

Hi
I want to do a fresh install of XP Pro onto a new 80gig hard drive. I want
to partition the hard drive into 3 a small "C" drive up to about 5gig just
to run the O/S system.
I would like to have the "Documents and Settings folder" and "Program Files"
onto a much larger "D" partition say about the 40 gig size and set the
default route for installs and saves to them.
So if some one can direct me to a site or if possible give me directions
that would be great
Thanks
Ron

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

[GuiUNattended]
ProfilesDir = z:\foldername

I have nearly the same wish, with one difference:
I want to move the "Documents and Settings folder" from "C" to "D"
Drive. Is there a way to do this without writing command lines?

Any help would be appreciated
