sysprep/driver conflicts...

[_jd_]

Any means of restoring or otherwise reverting the contents of C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers back to defaults (XP SP1)?

I have five makes/models of machines that use ADI/SoundMAX audio but require different versions of the driver for each. The master sysprep image already has a fairly recent copy of smwdm.sys in the above folder and a conflict arises when mini-setup tries to install an older version of the ADI/SoundMAX drivers (same file names/different versions).

So, i'm looking for a way to clear the above path of any third-party files. I suppose I could rebuild the master image from the machine that uses the older driver, but that doesn't seem to be a clean solution. Not to mention, after resolving the audio conflicts, similiar conflicts could still arise.

Thanks.
