Yes, it will work, though it's not recommended unless you swap parts often. When you add drivers to the install.wim image using DISM, they're permanently added to the hidden C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore directory. If you add all the DriverPacks, that directory could balloon in size over 5 GB for hardware you don't have. That's a waste of space if you ask me.
I personally only add DriverPack Chipset, dpms and DriverPack LAN to my images. I have a separate SAD disc I use for post install which doesn't clutter your driverstore folder.

Re: Graphics B x86 (36 replies, posted in Vista / 7 DriverPack Graphics B)
I discovered it's a card that isn't supported by nVidia for Vista or 7 (Quadro NVS 280). The driver that I ended up using was found on Microsoft Update on the link below.

Wow, I totally missed this post. Sorry, this did not make it into 11.04. DriverPack Graphics B is getting massive. I'll try squeezing the M$ .inf into the Nvidia folder...it SHOULD work.
Link is dead BTW.
Do you have a HWID for this card? A possible match is PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0165 for a NVS 285

Re: Graphics B x64 (41 replies, posted in Vista / 7 DriverPack Graphics B)
I'm updating this pack now.
Remember, with ATI drivers, DISM will show an error for the Vista driver being integrated in Win7, and vice-versa.

I had a bottle of "Wild Turkey" on my desk (half filled with cola) and was staggering around the office before lunch. Classic.

Re: [FEEDBACK-REQ] Nvidia Mass Storage test packs - TESTERS NEEDED (43 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
Yes, interesting reads. But don't really address the problem.
It would be all too easy for us to just say "We won't support nvidia drivers until they stop distributing crap" but that wouldn't be fair for our end-users.
I'm starting to get grey hairs at my temples. I fully blame nvidia for that! ![]()

Re: [REQ] WLAN - Ralink drivers (20 replies, posted in DriverPack WLAN)
The Ralink drivers are an absolute pain in the A$$ to disassemble. I usually leave those until the last possible moment because of that.
The only reliable way I've found to extract the drivers is to install them in VM ON THE TARGET OS. Meaning you want XP drivers, install them in XP. Same package contains Vista & Win7 specific drivers, but you have to install that package in both Vista AND Win7 just to get at them.
They're hidden in the system32\driverstore folders.

Are you talking about DriverPack Graphics A & B? They were next on my list.
Just upload them to mediafire or another file hosting site and I'll grab them.

The script just hands off to dpinst. The separated command window is minimized to the task bar. If you open it, it's constantly updated with feedback output.
Adding a progress bar for this utility is beyond my ability in batch script.
