User Profiles - Create and Move During Windows 7 Installation

That may be the problem. This tutorial if for moving Users and AppData During an installation, not one one already installed.
Try this instead if your w7 is still working properly.
User Folders - Change Default Location

Ok, at command prompt i entered C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep
and got " C:\Windows\Windows\System32\Sysprep' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Britton30, ok i will try User Folders - Change Default Location .
Thanks for the help.

One other question, before i try User Folders - Change Default Location , i need to go ahead and setup the computer and finalize the installation, RIGHT ????

@Britton, you can do this also for an existing Windows setup, just boot to Audit Mode as told here and continue from there.

@Bluedragon, if this is the pop-up you are talking about, it only appears when the command syntax contains errors, in other words if you have a typo in command:



In your case, the correct syntax is (replace underscore _ with space):
sysprep.exe_/audit_/reboot_/unattend:E:\relocate.xml

I will run your answer file (xml script) on my test machine and report back if it works or not.

OK, I run sysprep with your answer file on a test machine, works perfectly. Your only issue seems to be typo(s) in the sysprep command, check the spelling and especially spaces!

Kari

Kari, thanks for the followup. This is the way i typed the syntax,

Sysprep.exe /audit /reboot /unattended:E:\relocate.xml

which is the way it shows on page 6 of the tutorial.
Does the Capital S in Sysprep make a difference ?

Your syntax error highlighted in above quote. The switch is /unattend, not /unattended.

Correct syntax, as I have already told you:
Sysprep.exe /audit /reboot /unattend:E:\relocate.xml

Kari, Britton30, I was finally able to do it. Thanks for you help.

Regards,

Good to hear, Bluedragon :)
