Hello guys. I have just started working with nlite but i know the concepts pretty well. I work with pretty much 4 machines. all dells sx280 gx620 745 755 What i have done is ripped the drivers from fully functional machines using a program called Driver magician and then added those to and nlite windows xp cd. It worked pretty well but not 100%. Is there a better way to get the drivers to inject? I am aware that the driver.exe you get from dell can be extracted but i figured that just ripping them out should be fool proof LOL. Anyways i am just looking to build a really nice universal image so any help is appreciated.

You could either download the drivers from Dell and extract them, or try out other applications like Driver magician. You will find that they all pull different files some more complete than others. I wrote one called DriverBackup which is available here on the forum which works fairly well depending upon the driver.

You need to look in the *.inf file and see what is needed (*.cat, *.sys, etc)
