As long as the D: drive is NTFS, the permissions strategy remains the same.
To modify the OS load, all you need to do is add one line to your unattended
install file, in the GUIUnattended section:

[GuiUnattended]
ProfilesDir="DRIVE:\DIRECTORY"

Make sure that the path you give for this command actually exists,
otherwise, it will result in a fatal install error.
