How do I make updated XP automatically install USB drivers without the found hardware wizard?

[K4sum1]

I've been trying to make updated XP/2003 ISOs since the update servers are gone. An issue that I always have no matter what I do, is that USB devices cause the found hardware wizard to open, and I have to follow it for the drivers to install. No matter if it's a keyboard, mouse. flash drive, anything. Every other non-USB device that has drivers is fine. Why does it not automatically install the USB drivers? A side effect of this is that I can't boot the setup from USB, I always get a 7B BSOD. Stock XP is fine, but if I try updating it, I get this issue.

If you can get to a working XP (manual driver install!, I personally never use drivers from "Windows Update"), use DriverGrabber (hosted at Major Geeks) then slipstream the "captured" driver folder onto your ISO using nLite.

My issue is the generic USB drivers don't automatically install. It's not third party drivers.

So for Server 2003 x86 I found that it was my 4GB Sandisk it didn't like. The USB drivers seem to detect other devices fine and auto install, however I have to reboot for them to be recognized, and it wants me to manually install the generic volume.

Hi,

I succeed with this, when I compare the registry before recognizing the USB device and after.

This difference I integrate permanently in the registry. Then, whithout any recognicing,

the USB device is shown without any beep or time loose at once

I have to do that for every device, I want it to just work.
