At last it is working as it should complete with all drivers integrated. All I needed was the universal extractor to exand the exe files nlite did the rest. The AMD driver even installed wirh no problems. I also took the liberty of adding a couple of add on packages courtesy of sticky (Thanks for those).

After extracting the exe files nlite reccognised the driver folders. When I can get the peppa pig dvd out of the other computer I'll try and get on the machine and build an iso before the mrs gets on face book. All being well it should be problem solved.

Thanks for the link, I have just extracted all the files using 'universal extractor' I'll do a bit more reading and tinkering then get back with the results

will do, thanks I'll try it this evening when i get home.

Hi Sorry for the delay I didn't get the message until I got home from work, please see below for the link to the drivers. ftp://ftp.download.packardbell.com/NOTEBOOK/EasyNote%20SW51%20series/Driver/XP/ Which section or thread is the best source of information on expanding and modifying the drivers? I will start researching as sooon as I can. Cheers

Thank you, how do i unpack and alter them? (preferably with free ware)

Hi an example driver would be the rt73 wireless driver or the Nvidia display driver. These drivers are the Packard bell self installing ones with the branded logo when installing.

Hi all. I have a problem with some of my OEM drivers. I have recently managed the monumental task of integrating SP3 into my mce 2005 with no errors. Unfortunately i had to use another OEM version of the program with my product key as mine came on the useless recovery partition. Any way as this other version didn't match my hardware none of the pre installed drivers worked, luckily i have managed to get hold of a full set from the manufacturers website. Unfortunately they are the self installing exe type, and when extracted they are the .sys type which nlite doesn't recognise on the add drivers screen. To save me creating another half a dozen coasters does any body know if the.exe drivers can be integrated via the add on's screen or if there is another way to combine the .sys drivers. I would like my entire install to be automatic and avoid having to save the drivers to a folder in the root directory before creating the image for manual install afterwards.
