System and Personal Partition

That's what I said, they're just a notation.

 

I flew over this thread and I recognize alot.

All I want to share is that it is possible to instruct Windows at installation time to store the Documents and Settings data structure entirely on a place to your liking: d:\Documents and Settings or d:\personal

When you create a winnt.sif file on floppy a: that contains the following:

Code:

[GuiUnattended]
ProfilesDir=[I]D[/I]:\Documents and Settings

then I assure you that the C: partition won't contain that folder structure anymore.

You find more information about winnt.sif at http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/

 

That's a great place and you can learn a great deal there. Too bad there just aren't enough hours in the day !

 

Thanks man !!! I will try this, when I reinstall my winXPproSP2 from scratch, when my external harddisk is delivered.
This is the most simple method, I've ever seen upto now.
Simplicity is always brilliant.

 

Just create an empty snapshot in FD-ISR and play like a child that just got a new toy!

 

I usually zero my harddisks when I reinstall winXPproSP2 from scratch, just to be sure that any threat has been erased. So my new toy has to wait.
