Set drive letter to C: during OSD

[capriguy84]

Hello,

 

I am doing a OSD without MDT, it works fine for me but the drive letter it chooses is always D: and not C:. How can I make sure it is always C:

 

In my TS

1. Restart in Windows PE

2. Partition Disk 0

Volume = Primary

Disk Number=0

Disk Type=Standard(MBR)

Partition Name=Default

Partition Type=Primary

Size=100%

Make this boot partition

NTFS

Quickformat

3. Apply OS

Destination:specific logical drive letter C:

 

Thanks!

When you create the OS System Image it will always go to D:. Create an OS Install Package from your source files and specify "Apply operating system from an original installation source" under the task sequence>>Apply Operating System step. Point to the OS install package under that step and your OS will now be installed on C:.

look at this blog why does this happens when u use the WIM file from installation media http://blogs.technet.com/b/inside_osd/archive/2007/08/08/why-does-vista-end-up-on-the-d-drive.aspx .try to capture image with installation media isn ur OSD process.

After switching to OS Install Packages, my TS fails at "Installing Config Mgr for site. I tried looking at logs using notepad, but it is very skewed. Any ideas? Btw, I am NOT usign MDT TS but a regular one.

Have you double checked your TS under the install ConfigMgr client to verify it is still correct? Tinker around with it. If you can't get it to work then a build and capture TS to create an image may be your best bet as Eswar has pointed out.
