Manually editing a previously integrated XP disc rarely (if ever) works.
It's not about an integrated disk, but an integrated installation.
However, since KTD is supposed to be for testing only, I won't use this anymore.

I can't recall a single instance of a user being successful.
]]>KTD is not recommended because of the increased file size bloat and the extra registry entries required. It's ONLY beneficial for those users who swap hardware nearly every day (testers).
Ah, ok. Only non-productive systems.
Newer versions of BASE don't add PNF's (version 10.x) if you used an older version then there may be PNF's ... however this will not create much of an issue unless you are adding hardware to the machine in queston. If so it will simply ask you where to find the driver files, since they will be missing...
Great, that's what I was wondering.
However, I used Base 10.06, but maybe I misunderstood what was going on in the inf-folder. Inf-files were created (new timestamp), pnf-files just appeared (old timestamps).
BTW, I want to take the chance and thank all of you for this incredible great project and your never ending efforts. It's amazing!
]]>That's all. We never recommend KTD, it causes problems.
Thank you. But now I am scared. Do you have some examples what could happen? For the record, I do not use Graphics and Sound drivers.
]]>I have some XP Installations with integrated DriverPacks. Now I want to delete the Graphics and Sound Drivers. So far, I have deleted the appropriate folders in windows\driverpacks and corrected the Reg-Key in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/Devicepath, i.e. deleted the related entries.
Is that sufficient or is there anything else I have to do? I mean, are the "orphaned" inf-/pnf-Files in Windows\inf bad for later regular driver installations?
Thanks.
PS: Integrated with Method 2, KTD for all.
