Hi guys,

I'm using an Acronis Image of Windows XP, which I've built (and keep updated) thru a VMWare virtual machine with all Windows updates, programs installed, settings as I want them etc.

Universal Restore acts like an unattended setup in that it can be deployed to any new machine with different hardware (seems much easier to me than an unattended setup). When deploying the image it runs thru the HAL stages and installs any new drivers required for the different hardware. It also handles the new SID as well as usernames, domains etc.

My question is - is there a way I can incorporate the DP's into the already installed Windows XP within the VM? This way I can keep the image up to date with the newest drivers. Is it as easy as extracting them all into a system folder?

Thanks in advance!
Sol
