Has anyone tried using a CD image with Driver Packs from http://www.driverpacks.net ? I was reading through some of the posts and it appears that all of the drivers are located in a different location on the VM Image. Am I correct in thinking this? It would seem to me like an easy way to support a vast majority of the hardware out there. However I am on holiday and away from my lab to test any of this. So I have a couple of questions first then I will try this when I can get to a computer that needs to be re-installed.

1. From what I have read BartPE or WinPE is used to boot the target machine prior to installation of any Microsoft OS?

2. Do the subdirectories in the SAMBA share contain driver inf files for WinPE or for the OS that is being deployed?

3. If I create a ISO image that contains all of the "Driver Packs" that I want to be used during install will they be there when the ISO is mounted? These driver packs are put into a $OEM$ directory within the ISO image, or commonly referred to as "Slipstreamed" drivers.

I will continue on with my testing but I thought I would ask first to see if anyone has already done this.

Thanks

Ty
