Where on CD can I add drivers?

[Guest Calab]

I have a copy of my XP MediaCentre installation discs on a USB drive. I can

boot from the drive and install XP. I'd like to include my SATA drivers on

the stick so Windows will automatically use them during setup.

 

Where can I copy the driver files into the Windows install disc file tree?

Google 'slipstream XP'. There are several programs that allow you to

slipstream (or insert) SP2 or SP3 or applications or drivers (or all of

the above) into an XP CD. The details are way to complex and vary

from product to product.

Nlite is one that I played with but never used. There are others and

each has it following and features.

I really like nLite for building slipstreamed install CDs (or DVDs for that

matter). It allows you to add service packs, drivers, and such and also to

remove items you don't want. You can also add the information for

unattended installations. I write the resulting install image to an ISO

file and then burn it to the media.
