KeithDib Posted February 8, 2013 Report post Posted February 8, 2013 Hi I am deploying Windows 7 Pro SP1 from the standard install.wim through SCCM 2007 R3, I have tried both in the TS to install to C:\ and also from within the unattend.xml, but it always seems to install to D:\. Even when installing the install.win onscreen it says installing to C:\, so its like its changing after initial installation? Anyone help Keith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rocket Man Posted February 8, 2013 Report post Posted February 8, 2013 You need to capture a prebuilt image first and then deploy the captured wim back out, this will then install on the C: drive!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 alewoodrum Posted February 8, 2013 Report post Posted February 8, 2013 i had that problem when using the wim image from the installation dvd. the best practice is run a build and capture ts and use that image to deploy. For build and capture you can use the installation cd wim image by the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KeithDib Posted February 13, 2013 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 Why cant you just Deploy from the Install.wim from OS disk and get it to install to C: ? It seems a lot of work to have to build and capture just to get it to C: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a lot of work to have to build and capture just to get it to C: The easiest/quickest way is to create a capture media iso, not build and capture as this can be a slow process by times depending if successful or not. Build your custom image on a VM and attach the iso capture image, punch in the required credentilas and the rest is all automated.. Then you will have a wim file that when deployed it will install on the C: partition. the link below may help you unsderstand why it installs on the D: drive an not C: http://blogs.technet.com/b/inside_osd/archive/2007/08/08/why-does-vista-end-up-on-the-d-drive.aspx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KeithDib Posted February 15, 2013 Report post Posted February 15, 2013 Hi I have now built and captured a new base image and cured the issue with the C drive, but now a vbs script I had running post imaging to rename the computer to its serial number no longer works? How do you guys rename to serial number, within TS? Keith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
