The Wiki uses 1 huge driver cab file. When I upgrade a system from 7 I put the huge cab file in the mydocuments folder for the local administrator login.
There is support for this type of deployment but its not free.
SpeedStep, thank you for your reply. I currently use Ghost to clone the drive and restore it. I haven't had any problems with this process. What I am trying to do is to set up my Sysprep image so that the drivers for all the different model machines we have reside in one place on the hard drive. Then I can use one image to sysprep multiple machines that are different models. I've tried using the cabs from the center but it doesn't recognize the drivers.
You would have to extract the drivers from the cab so that they are not housed in a single compressed file. SYSPREP needs to read the INF files and cant do that when they are all one file.
Install everything that's required, run sysprep /generalize /oobe
boot winpe, and imagex to create the WIM image.
then use dism to mount wim image and add drivers to the image
then apply the image to the computer, then get ghost to take the image of the computer, and then do sysprep via ghost.
but by this, drivers are available in the image by default. as they get injected into the windir/inf directory
simple copy of drivers and inf files doesn't work for EVERYTHING ALWAYS FOREVER ONE STEP ONE BOOT RONCO SET IT AND FORGET IT.

Generic Symantec Ghost doesn't support windows 8, 8.1, or 10. WINPE 10 has a specific way to add drivers.
Ghost Solution Suite 2.5.1 supports 8
