Ah I see, I didnt even consider nt5 was different to nt6, I just compaired the 2 and didnt take that into count and wondered why they are different 
now I know.

Topic: Driverpacks structure question (2 replies, posted in Other)
Hi,
I have created my own driver pack by following this tutorial http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=279 and it works fine after I changed the name from "DP_Name_wnt5_x86-32_X.7z" to "DP_Name_wnt5-x86_X.7z"
My question is what are the rules to follow when restructuring the folder layout, for example in this tutorial the layout is as follows...
DP_Name_wnt5-x86_X.7z -> D -> 3 -> X -> Driver Files here
but I had a look at an existing driver pack "DP_WLAN_wnt6-x86_1203.7z" and the structure is completely different...
DP_WLAN_wnt6-x86_1203.7z -> x86 -> All | Vista | Win7 -> W -> Manufacturers name -> various numbers -> driver files
Can someone explain why this works please? I know I could just create my driver pack to the same structure but I'd like to know what (why) im doing it like this.
Thanks

Topic: Lan drivers in windows 7 image? (1 replies, posted in Windows 7 tools)
Hi,
I am currently installing windows onto computers using a sysprepped machine and creating the images with acronis which is working fine - I have all my images stored on a server which I restore using acronis boot disk.
I have all the driver packs also stored on the server with a tool to install them but after a clean image the lan driver rarely is included meaning I cant connect to the server - My question is how can I add all the lan drivers to the master image so that when the image is restored it will install the lan driver? (I know there may still be the odd machine which wont hav the lan driver in the pack but the majority of machines will which I can put up with)
The way im doing it at the moment is using a samdrivers disk after the image is complete
Thanks

Re: Acronis Universal Restore (4 replies, posted in Universal Imaging)
Hi,
I have had this a lot of times even with the manufacturers drivers, all i do is when acronis says it cant find the driver and gives you the 4 digit device id, i just type it in on www.pcidatabase.com and they usually have a download link on there, if they dont it will atleast tell you exactly what you need to look for and can then usually be found with google in a couple of minutes.
I do this all the time with success.
