Hi, I'm using the new version of sysprep for an XP image. I would like to drop this image onto another PC that has similar HD, except for the video and modem. I setup the sysprep answer file, and also pointed the unattended section to the proper place where the drivers to be installed should be. My problem is that sysprep does not find the proper drivers and then I have to install the drivers manually when I drop the image down to the different PC.

Any reason why this could be happening?Here is part of the answer file:

;SetupMgrTag
[Unattended]
OemSkipEula=Yes
InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386
TargetPath=\WINNT
OEMPnPDriversPath=hp\drivers\audio;hp\drivers\intel;hp\drivers\modem;hp\drivers\NIC;
hp\drivers\touchpad;hp\drivers\c410video;hp\drivers\c410video\atidrive;hp\drivers\c410video\atim6;hp\drivers\c410video\atim72k;
hp\drivers\c410video\n400c

This may seem simplistic, but there is an extra space in the third section of the OEMPnPDriversPath.

Section "hp\drive rs\modem", there is an extra space in the drivers line. That would case the path statement to fail after the audio and intel line.

Perhaps this is completely offbase and simply a typo for you, but if you cut and pasted the entry directly from your answer file, then this could be the cause. -Todd
