I am probably missing something very simple here but I have read so many forums that I think I am just getting all mixed up.

I am deploying XP Pro through network, and have managed to get my NIC drivers into my boot image after a lot of trial and error..

I can not however get my 4 needed drivers to install with the WindowsXP image (NIC, Chipset, Audio, VGA) using WDS.

My server consists of Windows Server 2008 R2, with WDS V:6.1.7600.16385..

My clients are all HP desktops, however I am only testing on 2x HP DX2810.

What I am trying to achieve is to have my drivers added to the WDS so that it is easy to update them. Then when the computer finishes installing the image it shoudl have the drivers install (when I look in device manager)

I downloaded the required 4 drivers and extracted them to a folder (extracted the EXE with WinRar) then in WDS I selected "Add Driver Package" and "Select All Driver Packages From A Folder" and pointed to my extracted files. WDS then finds 305 packages and adds them, but errors out on a few (6 packages all x64 architecture fail)

The package is set to have no filters.

What am I missing?

I have been through a million posts and just can not see what I am stuffing up..

Please any guidance welcome

Thanks!

(if any other details are require please let me know)
