I am new on XPe. I am trying to make a XPe image for my motherboard P4-ITX
Mini_ITX from VIA. When XP pro was installed, it recognizes all the hardware
devices except the build-in Audio and Video boards, which can be install
using drivers software included in the pakage.

But TAP program can not detect these 2 devices. So I run the Component
Designer and try to import the INF files. I cannot find the INF files in the
hard drive. So I can only import those files from the driver CD-ROM. It
went well and I can also import them into the Component Database and then
import them into the Target Designer. But when I built the image, it
generated errors that said the driver files cannot be found. Of course, the
runtime image still cannot have the drivers installed.

Could somebody help me on this? Thanks.
