Topic: Driverpacks overwrite on operational system.

Greetings.

I have partition image with winXP sp2 - universal one (I do restore of it to various hardware configurations).

But - driverpacks I have there are quite outdated, so I'd be happy to hear how can I overwrite them (not to slipstream) - perhaps just copy D directory and simply run finisher or ... ?

Thanks in advance smile

Re: Driverpacks overwrite on operational system.

You can not automatically update the drivers.

Your best option is:
1) extract DriverPacks
2) apply KTD
3) right click every device in the device manager and let it search for updates, it will find the updates automatically.

Bashrat, thanks for quick reply.

Actually, I'm using mini-install durnig first reboot time - so the search for hardware starts automatically.
I'm just aware - what should I do with previous driverpacks (in %WINDIR%\DriverPacks directory) and respective registry entries - will they be properly erased/upgraded etc. ?

Just for more clearance - I'm going to unpack my image to test computer, update driverpacks (along with some other things) and create a new image for further use...

Re: Driverpacks overwrite on operational system.

hm... so what should I do with already integrated driverpacks before applying KTD ?

just to bring more clearance - I need to extract my drive image, replace previously integrated KTD with new one and pack'em back to image
