I am so close with my Ximage partitions working i can taste it!

1. I got the WAIK installed onto a computer that didn't have VS 2005
2. Ran Ximage.exe /capture g: c:\tfs.wim "TFS Image" (g: is a bootable drive system volume)
3. Two hours later i had my working TFS image
4. Ran ximage.exe /apply c:\tfs.wim d: 1
5. Recieved error "access denied"
6. Formatted d:
7. Ran ximage.exe /apply c:\tfs.wim d: 1
8. Still Recieved error "access denied"
9. Deleted and created a new partition where d: was
10. Ran ximage.exe /apply c:\tfs.wim d: 1
11. Success!!
12. Rebooted
13. Error missing NTLDR
14. Mounted the drive and corrected the boot.ini partition information
15. Rebooted
16. !!!!!!!WINDOWS BOOTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Yeah!
17. Logged in and Windows immediately logged me back out - DOH! (Didn't figure WPA applied to "ME")
18. Yes i know the documentation said i had to create an Unattended.xml file like the one below but i wanted the same user name etc
19. Oh well back to step two

(2 hours later)

Looks like i don't have to create an unattended.xml,  The directions only have you sysprep /reseal the drive and now I am creating a new image.

In either case, it looks like my original issue was:

Unable to log on if the boot partition drive letter has changed

-After new image has been created, applied and i try to logon i will check to see if that may have been the initial issue.
