I'm launching WinPE 2 from a bootable UFD, and I need to detect the drive letter in order to tell ImageX where to find the WIM.

Hi there, we're trying to figure out a way to build a .NET application that can run entirely self contained from a CD. Basically user pops in a CD, boots to an operating system on the CD and a barebones .NET Framework starts up with the application.

It would (unattended) install Windows onto the second partition, then reboot into that installed version of Windows. Is this possible? Can you have multiple partitions for an EC2 instance?
