anyone?

[jondercik]

yes just integrate them all.

Just add all the drivers you need to your $OEM$ tree and your SIF file and you're good to go.

Have you checked the Device Driver of this forum? Plenty of ideas and directions there. Look also at BTS's drivepacks

The best way to do it is to donwload Ryan's VM Driver Pack and integrate them with nLite, they are compatible.

Start nLite, choose "Integrate Drivers", Select the Ryan's VM Driver Pack and your good to go. All drivers installed, no matter on what system the Windows is installed to

I am kinda confused. I have different lan and video cards, specifically the motherboard i am fighting with now is the intel d915gux the onboard graphics.

Do I download the ryan vm update pack? where can I get this?,

or do I use the packs from here http://www.driverpacks.net/

what exactly do I download? I am so confused.

Well, I'm pretty sure that andregcasal gave you the wrong info. RyanVM does NOT have any driver packs, only Update Packs. On the other hand Bashrat's Driver Packs are exactly what you are looking for.

Ok, i'm so sorry... My mistake

There's no such thing as "Ryan's VM Driver Pack" but "RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack" that is a pack of post-SP2 updates. I confused it with Driver Pack, i'm sorry.

Unfortunately Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks aren't compatible with nLite, i believe, so you must use Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks as the last thing to modify your XP source.

First of all you need the Driver Packs:

DriverPack_Graphics_A_V603.7z or

DriverPack_Graphics_B_V603.7z or

DriverPack_Graphics_C_V603.7z

They have drivers for diferent Graphic Cards, so read http://www.driverpacks.net/ to find out wich is wich.

Then you'll need DriverPack BASE, it basically contains everything you need to apply the DriverPacks to your unattended Windows XP CD, including the instructions.

Good luck!

Lol, exactly discountpc, my bad...

Ok

I integrated some of sneakys drivers packs into my windows xp unattended. I now have an OEM folder in the root. with all the driverpacks I downloaded, they are in compressed format with a .z extension. Do I need to keep this OEM folder?

I am running the install from a network share not a cd if it makes a difference.

Thank you for your help guys.

[andregcasal]

Don't delete the OEM folder or your drivers won't work

If you followed the instructions as is you shouldn't remove anything from your CD, is should be ready.

I believe that running from a network share doesn't make a diference.

after I integrated the driver packs.

at 39 minutes left.

I get windows cannot find \OEM\BIN\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe

I don't think the graphics packs support my d915gux intel onboard video, can someone confirm this for me?

I am doing the install from the network not a cd.

You shure you followed the tutorial that comes with DriverPacks BASE?

If you did i don't know how to help you, maybe it's from the network share...

[clivebuckwheat]

I read the tutorial and did exactly what it said, but can anyone one confirm for me if the drivers graphics packs include the graphics adapter for the intel d915gux?
