Hi,

i´ve read some FAQs und some Threads in the Forum, but didnt found anything about this issue.

I need to change the assigned letter for the BartPE CD (X:\), cuz the logon scripts want to use the letter X.
Any way to do this ?

I´ve read that this change is quite new and in former times the Assignment was made dynamical.
Which Version of BartPE supported this mode?


greetings

Shane

Yes. Build with XP + SP2 or W2003 + Sp1 as the source and your boot drive will always be X unless you override the default settings with the HKLM\System\MountedDevices registry key.

Thx 4 your fast reply - must be early in the morning in the US

Where exactly does BartPE set this key (in which ini file, or is this hardcoded or something like that) -
i´ve supposed that i´ve to change the mounteddevice key, but i would prefer to change the BartPE Default rather then overwrite them.

You can only override for specific drives. You export from your normal system and assign the specific drive you are interested in to the drive letter of your choice. The settings always go in pairs. One has a name like \DosDevices\Y:. The value corresponds to the value of a value name that starts \??\Volume...

Just create a plugin ( this is a example your numbers will be different and much longer ):

[Version]
Signature= "$Windows NT$"

[PEBuilder]
Name=""
Enable=1


[SetupReg.AddReg]
0x3, "MountedDevices", "\DosDevices\F:", \
5C, 00, 3F, 00, 3F, 00, 5C, 00, 49, 00, 44, 00, 45, 00, 23, 00, 43, 00, 64, 00, 52

0x3, "MountedDevices", "\??\Volume{2CD346D0-2DEB-4d0c-8180-2475FB0AC063}", \
5C, 00, 3F, 00, 3F, 00, 5C, 00, 49, 00, 44, 00, 45, 00, 23, 00, 43, 00, 64, 00, 52


What logon scripts are you talking about?

That would be a nice solution for a small amount of workstation, but i need to be hardware-independent cuz there are 1000 workstations around.

Thx anyway

Just live with the fixed X:. It makes things alot simpler.

Any startup script should be coded to be drive letter independent by using environment variables like %SystemDrive%, %SystemRoot% etc.
