Drive Y not mapped on boot #4

Put Drive.y in the root of USB drive, however it's not mapped as drive Y on boot. Y letter is not taken by other disks, clicking on (Y) Drive link gives "problem with shortcut" message. As the result there are many unworking shortcuts on the desktop.

How did you prepare your USB-Drive ?

Your Issue does Not occur in my case .... sshot-004 PE_22000_US_L_2022-03-29_163020

Starting the whole process and adding screenshots on the go. Please note I am using same partition for disk Y as WinPE wim partition. EFI partition 330MB Adding wifi drivers (getting error: "couldn't add all drivers" during the build process, but window disappear too fast to capture) Adding portable files:

Will post in WinPE screenshots once rebooted into it.

Your USB is Removable USB-Stick, whereas my USB is Fixed Portable SSD with two partitions as made by USB_FORMAT That might be the reason that LetterSwap.exe fails to Set Drive.y as Drive Y: In my case also WinPE folder is located on the Drive containing Drive.y file so that is not the cause oof the problem. Check the Log file created by LetterSwap.exe in %Temp%\LetterSwap.log Try with different USB Fixed Device preferably USB Portable SSD and use USB_FORMAT to create the two partitions formatted as FAT32 and NTFS.
