Hello, Is there a way to take an existing sysprepped image that works on multiple types of hardware and modify it, either using a zenworks add-on image, or the zenworks image editor, to work on a computer with a scsi hardrive controller? We have a corporate image that works on multiple computer types but it will not load on the toshiba tecra s3 since the tecra s3 uses a proprietary scsi raid controller. Im thinking of using an add on image that loads the .sys driver and all the appropriate .inf files so that windows will recognize the drive as soon as the computer boots. Has anyone done anything like this? Im hoping that this is possible since I dont want to recreate our existing image from scratch. Thanks Darius

Hello All, I need some input into a problem we are having, more specifically Id like to get some opinions on whether the path we are taking to solve a problem is even realistic. We have a corporate zen (.zmg) sysprepped image for windows XP SP1. It works on about 1 dozen hardware devices ranging from a Dell GX260 to a Tecra S2. As mentioned the machine is sysprepped and it contains a drivers directory that the sysprep.inf file refers to in order to load drivers on the hardware types. This all worked great until our company started receiving Toshiba Tecra S3s which come with a proprietary scsi raid controller for the hard drive. We load the image and when we reboot the machine the setup will blue screen right after the windows logo appears. Is it possible to create an add on image that loads the scsi device driver as well as an updated sysprep.inf file to accomodate for the scsi controller? If I am not mistaken when you sysprep your 'master' machine when creating the image sysprep will integrate many registry changes into the image hence adding a sysprep.inf as an add on after the fact on a different type of computer may not work. Is it possible to load scsi drivers for a hardrive onto an existing image that does not contain them? Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks DARIUS
