Good morning esteemed colleagues, I am sure that the answer to my problem is a relatively simple one. It must be, because I've already exhausted what I think are the hardest solutions. I am trying to build a single image for IBM Laptops T23 series and up. I've built the image based on a T23 laptop, added all of my drivers, syspreped it out, imaged it, and brought it down on a T41 series laptop for testing. The image comes down beautifully, however, when it goes through mini-setup it does not load the drivers that I have specified in the Sysprep.inf file. I have tried: oempnpdriverspath=c:\drivers oempnpdriverspath=drivers oempnpdriverspath=drivers\audio;drivers\nic;drivers\video;etc... oempnpdriverspath="drivers\audio;drivers\nic;drivers\video;etc..." The sysprep commands I have used are: Sysprep -reseal -activated -mini (Using this option prompts me for the driver locations for the newly detected hardware at first log in. I point it to the exact same directories that I told sysprep to look in the inf file and the drivers install perfectly.) Sysprep -reseal -activated -mini -pnp (Using this option does not prompt me for the drivers at first log in and pretty much makes me manually install the drivers for each device not configured in the device manager. This sucks) Here is also a copy of my sysprep.inf file: [unattended] OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes OemPnPDriverPath=Drivers\Audio\T23;Drivers\Audio\TX\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP;Drivers\Audio\TX\SMAXWDM\SE;Drivers\NIC\3com\landisk2;Drivers\NIC\Cisco\PCI-PCM\XP;Drivers\NIC\Intel;Drivers\NIC\Intel2\PRO100\WINXP32;Drivers\NIC\Intel2\PRO1000\WINXP32;Drivers\NIC\T40\PRO100\WS03XP32;Drivers\NIC\T40\PRO1000\WS03XP32;Drivers\Video\T23;Drivers\Video\TX\DRIVER\XP_INF;Drivers\Wifi\IBM\WINXP;Drivers\Wifi\Intel\PROW2200\WINXP;Drivers\Wifi\Intel2\PROW2100\WINXP;Drivers\Monitor;Drivers\Wifi\Cisco\PCI-PCM\XP InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386 ExtendOemPartition=1 TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="xxxxx" ;sets admin password" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 OEMDuplicatorstring="Sysprep" TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1 [userData] ProductKey=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX FullName="XXXXXXX" OrgName="XXXXXXX" ComputerName= [Display] BitsPerPel=16 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 Dialing=Tone AreaCode=914 LongDistanceAccess="9" [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=0 [sysprep] BuildMassStorageSection=Yes [sysprepMassStorage] *pnp0a00=c:\windows\inf\machine.inf *pnp0a01=c:\windows\inf\machine.inf *pnp0a04=c:\windows\inf\machine.inf *pnp0a03=c:\windows\inf\machine.inf pci\cc_0604=c:\windows\inf\machine.inf pci\cc_0601=c:\windows\inf\machine.inf pci\cc_0602=c:\windows\inf\machine.inf pci\cc_0600=c:\windows\inf\machine.inf You would help to save my life if you can please tell me what I am doing wrong before I start taking heavy doses of medication. I've done about 50 something images between the same two laptops trying to just get this one to work. Please, please, please, point out what I am doing wrong here! Thanks in advance... -J
