Re: Sysprep doesn't find drivers?


Ah. that may be it..... Let me verify.

When I installed and updated everything, I installed no drivers along the
way - so the yellow flags would be there....

Thanks

Hi.

Trying to create an image with a volume licensed Win XP SP3. I install the
usual stuff. Install IE7, WMP11, etc. Remove some stuff. Add some security
updates, etc.

The images would be supporting about 6 Dell Dimension models [all 4+ years
old]. all Intel and they all have similar hardware specs [i.e. most use
the
same audio, video and network drivers].

I have placed the drivers under the Sysprep folder [i.e.
c:\sysprep\drivers\audio1].

Below is the top part of my sysprep.inf file.

;SetupMgrTag
[Unattended]
InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386
OemSkipEula=Yes
TargetPath=\WINDOWS
OemPnPDriversPath =
Sysprep\Drivers\Audio1;Sysprep\Drivers\Audio2;Sysprep\Drivers\Audio3;Sysprep\Drivers\Chipset1;Sysprep\Drivers\Chipset2;Sysprep\Drivers\Nic1;Sysprep\Drivers\Nic2;Sysprep\Drivers\Nic3;Sysprep\Drivers\Video1;Sysprep\Drivers\Video2;Sysprep\Drivers\Video3;Sysprep\Drivers\Video4

I ran sysprep with the mini-setup and reseal options.

sysprep.exe, sysprep.inf and the other support cab files are in the
c:\sysprep folder.

When I booted up the image for the first time, it did not pick up the
audio,
video or network drivers. Is it reading the sysprep.inf file or did I miss
something?

Thanks

Gis
