Currently I use them in conjunction with Ghost and Sysprep to create a universal image.

*NOTE* Machine MUST have a smaller hard drive than the systems it will be re-imaged on and you must set the HAL on "Computer" to a "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC" (computer should be restarted after change) before starting this process.

A nice image of why we set the HAL on the forum post http://www.altirigos.com/vbulletin/show … amp;page=2

(1) I split the drivers into two areas on root of the base workstation, pre-image. One is essential and the second is well secondary. Extract all 7zip files and then put them in the corresponding folders -
C:\D has CPU, Chipset, LAN
C:\D2 has Sound, Graphics, WLAN

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
(2) Run the utility called Sysprep Driver Scanner to enumerate and add the drivers to the registry, pre-sysprep. Put this program in the folder C:\D2

(3) I edit my Sysprep.inf to incorporate the Storage drivers add under

As you can see it uses the Sysprep Driver Scanner and WatchDriverSigningPolicy (you can find that through google) and DEVCON (From the Windows 2003 Administrative Toolkit, also in the DPsFnshr.7z file). All files must be in the folder C:\D2
I'm sure you could edit the script to expand 7zip files and not have to extract the secondary driverpacks till after the re-image.

(5) Edit Sysprep to have these settings specifically. DO NOT ADD DRIVERS VIA THIS METHOD. We've already done it via the registry. Doing so will negate what we've done so far.

Edit the rest of the Sysprep.inf to your liking.

(7) !IMPORTANT! Make sure that in Device Manager that your "Computer" is set to "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC". If not set it, I believe you must restart in order for this to take affect.

(8) Then run the Sysprep.exe. 
Only check ON "Don't reset grace period" and "Use mini-setup" make sure "Shut Down" is selected, when ready click the RESEAL button.

(9) Sysprep will go through it's motions and shut down. This is the time to get ghost ready and then restart and image. I usually create a base image called, well BASE, one that is before sysprep and up to step 8. Then create another image called SYSPREP for after sysprep is run. This way I don't screw with certain things that happen after Sysprep is run and can make changes without bloating my image.
