Drivers found but not installed during setup

July 21, 200521 yr

My problem is that often when I'm setting up Dell PC's here at work with my unattended CD, it will not install the drivers for everything during setup. However, when I boot into windows, and I go into Device Manager, and run Update Driver automatically so that it searches the CD for the driver, it finds and installs it fine. This only happens on some systems. My WINNT.SIF file points to a folder for each driver. Would it be better to pool all the drivers in each category into their own folder, rather than separating them out? Is that maybe why Setup isn't bothering to install them itself?
