Actually, Dirk's Diskpart utility suggestion worked perfectly. Thanks for
the input.

I'm still failing to understand why you cannot correct the CD-ROM drive
letter in the image, rather than post-fixing the image with scripting.

vbscript, natively, doesn't provide any mechanism for this sort of thing,
normally. vbscript taken by itself, is useful (as other scripting
languages) for making active web pages. Beyond that, on it's own, it's quite
limited for client-side scripting.
It's only when combined with other technology (ie WSH, ADSI, or WMI) that it
becomes something like a system admin type scripting tool.
I'm merely wondering why you are spending so much time considering altering
an OS after the fact, when surely it would be easier to just create the
image with the correct CD-ROM drive letter.
