Stand Alone CD for Vista

Thanks,

Can you please tell my how this is possible?

Does one still need to use vista-tool for this?

When i open vista-tool it is wanting the original vista dvd location. I am not needing to insert the drivers into a vista installation,
I only want to creat a stand alone driver cd for vista.

Do i need to only point vista-tool to my directory that contains the drivers??

I don't seem to find any documentation on creating stand alone cd for vista.

Thanks,
Trez

I have read the directions for creating a Vista S.A.D. but I am still a bit confused. I apologize if this is a really dumb question, but in the first entry in the S.A.D. FAQ, it mentions using DriverPacks Base to make a S.A.D. Is this just for creating a S.A.D. disc for Windows XP? Or is there also a version if DriverPacks Base for Vista? (Again, I apologize if this is a dumb question.)

Since I couldn't find a DriverPacks Base for WinVista, I read other discussions regarding a S.A.D. for Vista but I am unsure I am doing it correctly.

1. I made a folder to set up my Vista S.A.D., and named it "D".
2. I created a folder in "D" named "DriverPacks"
3. I downloaded all of the 32 bit Vista DriverPacks, and unzipped them, with the option to preserve subfolders, into the /d/DriverPacks/ folder.
4. I took the DPInst.exe and DPInst.xml files (version 2.01) from my DriverPacks Base folder I use to create a WinXP S.A.D. and copied them to /D/
5. I then burned folder /D/ and its subfolders to a blank DVD.
6. To run, I put it into a Vista machine, open the DVD and run DPInst.exe.

Am I doing this correct, or am I missing something?
