RIS OS image you selected does not contain drivers

Can someone lend me their brain power?

Error: RIS OS image you selected does not contain the necessary drivers...

I have these Gateway E4100 PCs that I want to image via RIS. They have Intel Pro 1000 Nics. I have a CD Image of Windows XP SP2 on the RIS server. I have also made a RIPrep image with all the apps I want installed.

Now here's the catch. I can image the machine with the CD image, but I get the above error message when I try to image the machine with the RIPrep image.

On the CD image I have copied the correct .inf and .sys files into the I386 folder. There is also all the files for the OS there as well. I have copied all the driver files into F:\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\WinXPsp2\$oem$\$1\drivers\e4100 on the server and edited the risntdrd.sif with:

OemPreinstall=Yes

DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\e4100;Drivers\Dimension8300"

The CD image works fine. I have duplicated the same process with the RIPrep image with no success. In the I386 folder of the RIPrep image, there is only a Mirror1 and Templates folder. No OS files of course, but I threw the driver files in I386 anyway. Is there some other place I need to put the NIC drivers for this RIPrep image?

I'm sure I'm overlooking something really simple, but I don't know what it is.

One other thing to note: the .sif file is named riprep.sif instead of the risntdrd.sif on the riprep image. Not sure if that's relevant. I've also noticed that the syntax of the riprep .sif and the CD .sif is slightly different. Here's the syntax I'm using for the riprep.sif:

OemPreinstall = Yes

DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore

OemPnPDriversPath = \Drivers\e4100;\Drivers\Dimension8300

There are spaces between the equals sign and no parenthesis on the driver path in the risntdrd.sif

I think this is the solution:
