Again, thank you guys all for helping me out! I feel really lost.

I am trying to build a universial image for different Dell Latitude model laptops. I have been strugglling to figure out the best case here for me.


1) In order to build a new image master, should I be using DP slip streaming into my WinXP sp3 disk?
      a) does this make an impact on the cab file, both on the CD and/or the HDD windows folder?
      b) will this work across multiple machines with different HW specs?
      c) will have still have to edit the sysprep.inf file? (which I am trying to avoid)

2) Is there any reason why I would perfer to have DP slip streamed on an XP disk? (as opposed to somehow getting DP to work with sysprep?)

3) What is the difference between M1 and M2 in the DP base?

I am sure I will have more questions, I am just really confused with all of the different postings that relate to this.
Please Help!

I really wish there was a cleaned up version of this that I could use. Any way we could start on a new thread with directions??

Ok. Then why would I want to, or what are the advantages of slip streaming driverpacks onto a XP install disk besides never needing to find drivers to do a clean install?

Will XP hold onto the drivers after a clean install for future HW changes to the local system?

Hello DriversPack!

Quite a number of things have happened recently, and through my needs, I have come across this wonderful resource! Thank you very much.

Now let me get to the grind.

I have been place in charge of creating a universial image to cover many computers in our XP domain, with different HW specs. All are used on an end user basis. I have some understanding of sysprep, and have migrated our company from WinPE over to Bart PE. I have successfully, quite easily, slipped DP to Bart PE, but now I need to work with sysprep.

I have read through the forums here, but have not come across an 'official' guide for DP base 8.12.1 and sysprep. I have read about older versions of DP_Base, but sysprep was not supported then. The information that I have come across using sysprep has not been centralized, and almost a little confusing.

I despirately need guidence, and would appreciate any that is offered.

Thank you in advance.
