Driver integration question...


Recommended Posts

Posted

Here is my situation. I have multiple computers through the entire house that all require different drivers.

1. Can I integrate all the drivers for all computers on 1 xp installation cd?

2. If I can, will they be properly installed on the right PCs?

I hope I was clear enough with my questions, if not please respond.

Thanks in advance!

You can, and should not have any problems, as the hardware detection phase of the install will determine which drivers to use. If you are really paranoid you could always make a backup of the current install on one machine, make your cd with all of the drivers for all of the machines, format, install, and if it craps out, restore the backup.

Thanks for the info! This is good news because a few of the laptops in the house NEED special drivers or the install cd wont even detect the hard drive (and i really dont need 3 xp cd's (original and 2 slipstreamed) (OEM Vista is now being removed!). Thank you!
