"Have you changed the HAL?"
yep, with MySysprep. Without it Win XP image is not even visible in WDS deploy list.

UPD.
I don't think that DP prevents XP from booting, either. I think that, maybe, I made some mistake integrating it in XP image.

Hi,

not sure, where to ask this.

I want to make a wim image file to deploy windows xp in my AD domain via WDS with preinstalled software.
My actions:
1. I've patched vanila win xp sp3 image with DriverPacks BASE (with KTD on)
2. Installed this in vm. Drivers seems to be in %WINDWS%\DriverPacks folder.
3. created sysprep.inf with setupmgr, pointed that drivers cache in %windows%\driverspacks, etc.
4. ran sysprep -bmsd
5. captured image with WDS.

Looks good - I mean, when I try to deploy this on my vm - all great. But, when I try to deploy it on any physical pc - it fails. Even in safe mode Windows is unable to boot.

So if anyone can point where to dig (not to bury myself, though) - I'll appreciate.
