Or

Create a SAD M1 folder copy to HDD after XP install, run devpath to set the KTD path...???

Re: SAD doesn't support KTD, right ?

KTD does not and will not do what you think it will...

you must run SAD for a software first installation (like Ghost), and even then it will only be 90% effective. KTD is more like a 50/50 proposition. KTD works well for monitors, modems, printers and like kind external devices. It absolutely will not, and can not, work for installations that will install chipset drivers, because a reboot is required after installing chipset and before installing drivers that depend on chipset. You can with pretty good success run SAD reboot run SAD again reboot and run SAD a third time. 

The above instructions you referenced have been taken out of context and are to be used with SysPrep and are fairly effective when run with MiniSetup.

please review the stickied posts in universal imaging. It is not documented because it will NOT work. (at least not well)

hit and miss functionality is not encouraged or documented and supported.

Since what you want will not work *(reliably) it will not be documented into a tutorial


SAD is the replacement for KTD. KTD does not (and never did) do what most people mistakenly belive it will.  Again it works fairly good for some monitors and a few modems and printers that do not require a setup.exe file to be run, and not much else.

If you are looking for KTD to be used to install an OS from one machine onto a different machine ... Forget IT!
