well you are likely going to need a bit more than iastor.inf. but I don't understand why you can't run the intel driver installer. The chipset update should run no matter what the hard drive is once the OS is installed as long as you have the right driver installer.

Which version of the WAIK are you using?

That would only be allowed if they have a volume license. Otherwise each machine should get their own.

You have to use the setup manager to create your answer file.

Have you tried the driverpacks from driverpacks.net and a post install driver utility like driverforge?

you should enclose the goto statements in parentheses. IF NOT EXIST "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" (GOTO install) ELSE (GOTO end) Another option is to get rid of the Else and put the goto end on a new line. Then if it gets past the If statement the script will always end. IF NOT EXIST "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" GOTO install goto End

Sorry, Flash is correct, 4gb is the max file size on a FAT32 partition. Brain had not received the full induction of caffeine yet this morning.

Add a check to the start of the script to check and see if it is already installed. if it is then exit the script if not continue on. You could look for a file that is installed like winword.exe, or check the installed applications list with WMI, or check for a registry setting.

It will have to be in files smaller than 2gb. Or convert the drive to ntfs.

How is the drive you want to copy to formatted? NTFS or FAT32?

No this guide will not walk you through creating a hardware independent image. It just shows you how to use windows imaging to create and deploy an image file. So you don't have to use say Ghost. What you want to search for would be either "Universal Image" or "hardware independent image" (HII) there are a few way to get there depending upon what you hardware requirements are. Where I work rather than putting something together ourselves we bit the bullet and purchased the Universal Imaging Utility. They maintain all of the drivers and handle any required HAL changes and if we have a problem they solve it instead of me having to figure out what went wrong.

If he is doing XP and formated the partition wrong it will do the same thing.

You could run an app during runonce that gave the drop downs to select computer name and workgroup and then make the needed changes to the registry and reboot. Same kind of thing could be done with applications.

You could create a logon/logoff script to do it. Or just configure Automatic updates to do the install.

If you didn't make the recovery media for your machine you will have to get a copy of it from the manufacturer.

Are you capturing XP or Vista?

Feel free to update it. There is an edit button in the bottom right of each page. Make the changes you feel necessary and document them and the changes will be check and approved.

Ok, that is very strange. Can you post all of the commands and steps you used to both capture and deploy the WIM. Maybe that will give us a little more clue as to what is going on.

Why not use something like DriverForge and the Driverpacks? http://www.msfn.org/board/DriverForge-v453...ut-t110783.html www.driverpacks.net

Installing drivers to offline Windows Vista image: 1. Collect the drivers you wish to install and save them to a folder based on the device they are designed for. C:\drivers\LAN C:\drivers\MSD etc. 2. Extract the drivers from their compressed packages; this process will vary depending upon the method used by the manufacturer. Place each driver in its own sub-folder under its device type folder c:\drivers\net, c:\drivers\msd, etc. c:\drivers\net\intel100 c:\drivers\net\broadcom100 c:\drivers\MSD\intel c:\drivers\MSD\AMD etc. 3. Run the following command for each folder, where <source path> is the directory containing the driver INF file, and <destination path> (i.e. c:\winpe_x86\mount) is the path to you mounted Windows PE image: peimg /inf:<source path>\*.inf <destination path>\windows If you are referring to n XP WIM image you really can't.

Also make sure all of the computers are in the same workgroup.
