Hi, Richard! I have no idea if you'll ever see this, but I figured I'd give it a try. I've tried everything to get my docs & settings off the C: drive and I'm pretty frustrated. Your solution sounded so doable to me, but I can't get BartPE to build because of my Dell. I've read threads about fixes, and tried the Dell plugin, but no luck. I'm afraid I'm way in over my head with this stuff. Is there anything that works better with a Dell, just so I can get these docs off my OS drive – or did I have a 2nd drive installed for nothing? Thanks in advance if you happen to read this and answer.

I like Richard's solution of mounting the new Documents and Settings partition over the C:Documents and Settings path, and also for the C:Program files

Seems slicker, without having to mess around with the Registry (not an issue for me)

I'm about to clone my physical partitions to a VMimage with VMWare Converter, so I'm wondering if this technique would be portable to the VM, (making the Windows partition image much smaller).
Do you think this would work?
Would I be able to mount the Docs & Setts in the VM (or would there be a locking conflict?)

Everything Ghosted, so I'll try anyway, but would appreciate anyone's thoughts.

Cheers,
Rem

Try a similar method at my site. It lists a few extra required changes: http://www.dynode.net/~rjw/

Tried and failed on the Copy… Could not copy several PRF files or the CardServices folder
Was unable to continue with this solution.

Thanks! This was very helpful!

I'd add one more number to Step 2 (#0.) those instructions:

Step 2
0. Create a new Admin User Account. Log out or your User Account and Log into the new Admin User Account.
1. Now ....

My edited and saved registry file also appeared in hexadecimal, but it worked just fine anyway.

I'd add one more number to Step 2 ( a new #0 ):
Step 2
0. Create a new Admin User Account. Log out or your User Account and Log into the new Admin User Account.

1. Now do a full reboot....
