Judical Posted March 19, 2013 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 Hello, I am trying to make Windows 7 install on the C: drive instead of the D: drive. Supposedly this Variable makes it possible to change the drive after creating an image from the WIM file. Add the Variable OSDisk to Format and Partition Set Variable OSDPreserveDriveLetter before Apply Operating System Set to Apply Operating System to Variable OSDisk After all of this it still install on the D: drive. Any help is greatly appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tefty Posted March 19, 2013 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 Are you using the WIM direct from a Windows 7 fresh image and not from a previous custom made image? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judical Posted March 19, 2013 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 The WIM came from media downloaded from Microsoft's volume licensing site. I used a Build and Capture Task sequence to set it up for SCCM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tefty Posted March 19, 2013 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 Can't see of anything wrong then with your setup... Sorry! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted March 20, 2013 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 did you capture the image before SP1 was applied to Configuration Manager 2012 ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judical Posted March 20, 2013 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 No, I just captured it a few days ago. This is annoying since your can't create the image from setup.exe anymore. I guess I'll have to use good old imageX. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judical Posted March 20, 2013 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 @Oneone That by itself won't prevent the OS from being on the D drive since the Windows 7 WIM was originally created from the D drive. Now that I think about it I might be having this issue because I'm using boot media. When I press F8 to see what is going on I notice that my boot media is set as the c: drive.

I know you don't use the MDT integration, but it might help anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judical Posted March 20, 2013 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 With SP1 you can no longer use the setup.exe installer you would have in the past with Windows 7. This is outlined in the What's New page for SP1, where it mentions "The build and capture task sequence was updated to apply an operating system image instead of running Setup.exe for installation. You can still run Setup.exe for Windows 8 deployments by editing the task sequence in the task sequence editor." You instead have to use the wim file found on the Windows 7 media. There's a great post that goes over this in detail at http://scug.be/sccm/2013/01/13/configmgr-sp1-windows-7-deployment-is-not-supported-anymore-from-the-setup-exe/ Because of this you can no longer follow this capture windows 7. http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6353-using-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-part-7-build-and-capture-windows-7-x64-sp1/ @birz I did look at your post but that doesn't apply because the captures were not created from the WIM file. I do have MDT installed but I don't see a point in adding so much garbage to my task sequences. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
