WinXP: Normal Behaivor

[Chireven]

My build is done like this:

I prepare a WinXP source directory using Nlite. I *ONLY* use NLite to slipstream all the hotfixes and patches that I need. I don't modify anything else!!

I boot Windows PE and execute a series of scripts that map a network drive and move the i386 directory local. It then kicks off a fully unattended install. When I come back, I have a Windows XP workstation waiting for me to log into the domain.

Scenario:

The machine is built witha USB keyboard and USB mouse. I move the machine from my workbench to my desk, where I have PS2 keyboard and mouse, the keyboard and mouse do not work. If I plug in a USB keyboard and log in, I can walk through the driver install for the PS2 keyboard and Mouse, reboot and remove the USB keyboard, then everything works fine.

I get the same results if I build the machine with PS2 and move it to a workstation with USB.

Is this typical behavior? I don't recall this happening before, but I can't be for sure that I've ever really paid attention. I understand the logic for it happening...

Thanks for any input. I'm not blaming Nlite or WinPE for this (if it is, in fact, a problem!), I'm just trying to provide as much information as possible!

Thanks,
