Following the instructions for XPCREATE I placed my drivers for my Audio, NIC, Video and chipset in $OEM$\$1\Drivers and added the line to the winnt.sif file that pointed OEMPnPDrivers to that folder but the drivers aren't loaded when I boot up for the first time. The drivers folder however is copied to the hard drive just like the installs folder. What did I do wrong?

Make sure the following is in the [Unattended] section of winnt.sif:

DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

Also, are you just putting the driver install package for each of those devices in the folders. If you are, you need to unpackage them and get down to the actual inf files etc... for it to work. Along with the above tip. make sure OEMPreinstall=Yes in your winnt.sif file.
