SYSTEMDRIVE is the drive SYSTEMROOT is installed on, no? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/314470/ "The system volume refers to the disk volume that contains the hardware-specific files that are needed to start Windows, such as Ntldr, Boot.ini, and Ntdetect.com." "The boot volume refers to the disk volume that contains the Windows operating system files and the supporting files. By default, the Windows operating system files are in the WINDOWS folder, and the supporting files are in the WINDOWS\System32 folder." "The boot volume can be the same volume as the system volume. However, this configuration is not required. There is only one system volume. However, there is one boot volume for each operating system in a multiboot system."
