Re: OSD Image Help

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks for that it worked a treat.

Is it possible for me to keep a central copy of all the drivers for our
systems and a sysprep.ini that we can update when new drivers are required.
What I would like to be able to do is copy these drivers over to the
C:\Sysprep folder during the post install phase, before the machine reboots
and installs them.

I have tried this using a batch file and xcopy, however I always revieve an
error message, "System cannot find the file specified, error code 80070002".

Has anyone else tried this? Or does anyone have any ideas as to how I can
resolve this error.

TIA
