black,
Making a C: for use by TD tools is a bit tricky since you need to build project in some folder and then move it afterward to root to
avoid folder clean errors or things where boot.ini could be replaced so that you can't go to XPP any more without modifying boot.ini
from external windows.
I personaly use XPP on C: and put XPe either on first partition of second disk. (Easiest case and you can use BIOS to switch boot
disks).
Or I put XPe on second partition and force its volume as C: in TD.

If you use this two partition scenario then you must make sure that EWF point to XPP (first) partition and not to XPe one that will
be seen as C:
Because when you move XPe to boot from CD XPe will be on first partititon and not on second one.
Also if you use second partitino for XPe then you will not be able to use MS tool for creating working Eltorito CD and you will have
to use alternative solution. that I described in some post in this NG.
So the easiest way for you is to:
1. Use 2 HDD in your computer.
2. Put XPE on first partition of second disk.
3. Switch in BIOS disk order. (Note that ARC paths will be changed automaticaly and that boot disk will always be first disk in
system)

Slobodan
