Never heard of the term "MFT zone" before, but are you by any chance referring to the System Restore Points and/or the Shadow Copy service of Windows?

Does the System Volume Information folder also grow by that size?

The reason the files may be tagged as vital system files worth such an "in-house" backup is because they are drivers.

You can limit the SRPs either manually or using nLite to a specific percentage of the partition's total space.
Obviously, with current drive sizes, at 1%, 2GB does not sound too unlikely.

Old entries will, of course, be overwritten once the quota has been hit so you shouldn't worry too much.
That 1% of net space loss can come in quite handy when the system suddenly stops working properly after having updated a driver or installed an app.
Saved my ass quite a lot of time and is definitely faster than rolling out an image again.

Sources for my thoughts?

Well, my brain, mostly, unless I'm pulling something outta my ass...

No, just drivers.

Use vLite or Windows 7 Toolkit fpr SP1 slipstream.

The Troll bar is the most impressive userbar I have ever seen to this day!

Outstanding work!

Now, let's hope it's being put to good use

Well, I can see some need for this if you are travelling and the hotel room does not have any WLAN but a phone plug.
You could then hook your notebook modem (whose drivers are ususally part of the sound card, AC'97 oder HDA) and get, albeit slow, some internet, if you are desperate

Over here, you are more likely to find ISDN than analogue so you'd be stuck with the modem anyway.
I'd rather recommend getting a UMTS adaptor (PCMCIA/PC card or USB) if you need to rely on internet.
As long as you have cell phone connection (you could of course also pair your phone via Bluethooth), you should be fine.

Personally, I think still putting a modem into a modern notebook is a waste of space and resources.
While it may not cost much to implement (they are most likely win modems I guess), it serves no real puprose anymore.
Some 10 years ago that may have been different, but times have changed rapidly!

Perfect, just perfect!

I took the liberty to change your User Title to reflect you fine work

IDK what this toolkit is you are referring to (links would be helpful), but as long as you have at least one .INF file (and everything listed inside) you should be fine

Why not put them into your own custom-made DP and have them installed automatically that way?
It's easier than it may seem, if you follow the tutorial.

Always use BASE AFTER nLite and everything else.
And directly create your ISO then (don't edit anything else, unless you really know what you are doing - probably not, else you hadn't asked, no offense, though).
You can keep nLite open between the two steps, so you can directly get back to the ISO creation screen.

Link works.

WTF is your problem, man?

Just because you don't seem to grasp our concept of splitting up the drivers (which was elaborated and discussed comprehensively among the team and everyone agreed on it!) doesn't mean you can call it stupid.
As a matter of fact, 100,000s of users before you had no problem with it, proving that the real world does not oppose to our concept.

Speaking of which, yes, it's ours, among with our project.

So you are using it in your repair shop - fine.
Our hard work saves you time AND money the like but all you do is come here and complain.
Very nice first post there, buddy...

Ever considered to donate to the project or have you just come around to complain?

Dead on, Sherlock!
And guess what, these are the most frequently update drivers, too, so it's only logical to have them in their own pack, because that saves bandwidth...

But, look:

Boohoo!
Either you are totally incompetent or just simply too dumb.
So you had to waste time on that, huh?
Someone's forcing you to use the DriverPacks?
Poor sod...

The packs are intended to and do work as such being used together.
There's no overlapping and they work just fine for everyone else...

Apparently, you are too dense to notice the options in BASE.
Don't like the CCC, don't enable it, period.
Read the guide first, will ya!

Oh, and bugs are to be reported at the bugtracker, kthnx!

Why are business class drivers unnecessary?
Lots of our users work as sys admin in big companies and those are exactly using aforementioned cards, you genius!

So, should we cater for the single needs of you very shop now or what?
And the next shop having other five-tops producers gets their own packs, as well, hum?

Do you even realize how ridiculous such a request is?

And by how much would the file size of a combined pack shrink by your expert calculations?
Excessive?
Give me a break!
Plus, BASE is auto-DLing the packs for you already, what kind of lazy bugger are you?

PS: Yes, I am pissed, and I know exactly how Jeff must feel all the time...

I think someone needs a swift kick in the butt to get back a sense of reality!

Off Topic, too...
We're dealing with drivers here, not Windows addons.

Is VBulletin free?
I doubt we're willing to shell out some money for something we don't really need (this one does get its job done quite well, IMO).
Plus, there would always be the problem of database conversion.
Losing all the previous posts and accumulated knowledge is not an option in my book so unless that's transferable to 100% it's a no go.
We already had to make a cut when we moved here from MSFN.
Don't really like fora resets mself...

In what regard do you feel unfamiliar with this board and what advantages would changing to one you are familiar with bring about?
So far, there haven't been any complaints from other users and I doubt VB is the one everyone knows...

I suggest reading up on this (http://forum.driverpacks.net/help.php) to accustom yourself a bit more!
