Has anyone successfully added all the driver packs to a single unattended xp install cd? I've got the drivers to install devices.....but I havn't figured out how to make them all fit.

Hi Lib,
Fairly easy to do, as I've just done the same in the last week.
1. Download the BASE driver pack, and any other driver pack required.
2. Start the driver pack configuration, I chose method one. Once this finishes running you'll end up with a directory of up to 520Mb of drivers.
3. Download the package in the "Sticky post: Drivers from CD (simple method)"
4. Follow the instructions for setting this up.
5. Copy the drivers directory created in step 2 as required.
This keeps all the drivers on DVD and runs at the T-39 mark of the install. Works for Win2003 as well. But does take a bit of time to scan all drivers.
A DVD install is recomended for this, as the drivers can come to 520Mb + say 600Mb for the OS + any unattended applications you may have.
Hope this helps
Dave
