Install Win 7 Enterprise on machine already having Win 7 Professional with 2 drives

[AT111]

I want to install Windows 7 Enterprise on a machine using SCCM 2012 OSD.

The machine already has Windows 7 professional installed on it.

The machine has 2 drives C: and D: created on a single HDD. I want to retain the user data on Drive D as it is.

The size of data on D drive is huge, and I don't want to waste time backing it up and restoring the same on the same machine.

I want to retain 2 drive structure.

I don't want backup data on a USB (using Easy transfer or similar tool), not do I want to use USMT to copy D drive data on to a server share location.

 

Any suggestions on how to go about it?

Easiest method is to skip the format partition step. This will make that the disk will be wiped during the applying of the image.

Hi!

Same question. Im interesting how TS will know about real %SYSTEMDRIVE%? In WinPE all volumes will assign different letters than OS. So variable OSDTargetSystemDrive will be empty. By default OSD will wipe and apply system on first volume?
