Yeah ok, its a fair cop I hadn't read the tutorial.  I am actually following an article in PC World magazine(Nov 2008) and it didn't make it clear that the driverpack files should be moved in their .7z state.  Tutorials from now on!!!

Many thanks it works fine now

No matter what I try I cannot get the driverpacks to display - they are only there in shadow and not available for selection.  All the downloaded driver files are extracted to the DriverPack folder and the Base seems to work ok - all except the driverpacks.  I am using Nlite to slipstream my windows and this is in the same folder.  I am not really a techy but neither am I a slouch to computing so any help would be appreciated.
