Basic steps for basic image creation?

Featured Replies

Sorry for the mass number of posts - but they are all slightly different though pertain to the same issue.

As per other posts, I can create and deploy an image, inject drivers (I believe) successfully into an image, but only one of the drivers is detected the rest are ignored.

Can I confirm if I'm doing anything stupid or missing anything in my basic methodology!

NOTE: We are not able to use imageX for this - assume we are simply having to capture, ghost up, and ghost down again.

Our image creation process is:-

1 - install vista on clean machine

2 - install unattend.xml in c:\windows\panther\unattend\unattend.xml (as per below)

3 - sysprep /generalize /oobe

4 - capture

5 - mount caputured image

6 - inject drivers (pkgmgr using xml file below)

7 - unmount image

8 - deploy image and modify unattend.xml with machine name etc

At step 6 - logs say drivers injected and in driver store etc. Drivers stored on C:\DRV on PC where mounting/injecting/unmounting is performed, and in \DRV within image.

It can't be simpler can it? !!!! :)

Here is my unattend.xml - again - SIMPLE :) NOTE: Everything between ^^ is subtituted for the correct value at stage 8

If you have any ideas, or you think my process is flawed, or my unattend has bits missing - please drop any hint you can.

THANKS! :)
