way, I think I found a way around this limitation. Being able to script
setup.exe would be nice though. Some package management ala RPM or
something would be nice, but I understand priorities.
So my work around:

Look at /etc/profile. This uses $HOME if it is set under Windows,
otherwise it uses /home/$USER. You can certainly tweak this to your
needs.
A simpler option may be to mount your new disk on /home, then you
don't have to fiddle with $HOME.
