finger123 Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Help. I have tried and tried, but I think I am doing something wrong. I have Gateway laptops here, where I am trying to make a XP image that will be compatible for all the 3 versions of laptops. I have build the image on a Core Duo processor and in hope that it will be compatible when trying to load it on older Centrino, and Pentium M chipset type laptops. So far, i am not successful. After the image is layed down ont he target computer, the system will reboot into the sysprep mini-setup. Sysprep does its thing and once finished, the system reboots. once it reboots, the system goes into a black screen page and nothing else happens. I have a feeling that my OEM drivers that I am specifying is not loading during sysprep. Can someone verify that I am doing it correctly? Below is my sysprep file. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is what i got.1. I created a folder called sysprep on the root of the C:\ drive. Inside that folder has all the setupmgr and sysprep files. 2. Inside that folder, I have a folder called i386\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\nic, etc. with all the necessary drivers in each folder.3. Prior to re-sealing the image, I made sure the ACPI was changed to Advanced ACPI.3. Prior to re-sealing the image, a copy of the drivers directory was also copied to the Windows directory. The system that I am using to build the image on is a newer Core Duo system and I want to make the image compatible with older systems which are single core systems.What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated for every where I have searched and look, I dont seem to find the answer I need.;SetupMgrTag[unattended]OemSkipEula=YesInstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386UpdateUPHAL=ACPIAPIC_UP,%WINDIR%\Inf\Hal.infUpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\450ROG\Chipset;Drivers\450ROG\Nic\100;Drivers\450ROG\Nic\1000;Drivers\450ROG\Processor;Drivers\450ROG\Sound;Drivers\450ROG\Video;Drivers\450SX\Chipset;Drivers\450SX\Sound;Drivers\450SX\Video;Drivers\M460E\Chipset;Drivers\M460E\Nic;Drivers\M460E\Sound;Drivers\M460E\Video;Drivers\M460E\Video2;Drivers\M465E\Chipset;Drivers\M465E\MassController;Drivers\M465E\Nic;Drivers\M465E\Sound;Drivers\M465E\Video;Drivers\M465E\Video2;Drivers\M465E\Wireless;Drivers\M465E\MediaCard"DriversSigningPolicy=ignoreTargetPath=\WINDOWS[GuiUnattended]AdminPassword=""EncryptedAdminPassword=YesTimeZone=4[userData]FullName=""OrgName=""ProductKey=[TapiLocation]CountryCode=1AreaCode=559[identification]JoinDomain=DomainAdmin=DomainAdminPassword=[Networking]InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[sysprep]BuildMassStorageSection=Yes[branding]BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes[Proxy]Proxy_Enable=0Use_Same_Proxy=0
