Try to create another base image, but just with a standard WinXP CD and add the drivers into that image. We have GX280's here and we image them with RIS with no problem.
Probably a lame sounding question, but how do I add drivers into the image? With Windows 2000 Professional, I didn't need to add any drivers to the base image. I just copied the OEM Windows 2000 Pro CD and pretty much did nothing else.
Not a stupid question, it generally kills me when I have to do it.
There is a document that Intel has that talks about it, and I am referring to the NIC drivers specifically. Even though you may have Broadcom network drivers, the Intel document shows you how to do it.
In a nutshell you are creating a folder at the same level as I386 called $oem$ which will store the network drivers for your NIC, because WinXP doesn't have them natively. I have a $1\Drivers subdirectory where they are stored. You also need to copy them into the I386 directory of that base image.
Then find the RISTNDRD file in the I386 directory and I think there is one under the I386\Template Directory and modify them as per the link to tell the file to look in \$1\Drivers directory for any drivers that aren't in the base install.
BE SURE you stop the BINLSVC and restart it, otherwise it won't pick up on these changes. There is (I believe) a FAQ at the stop of this forum that talks about this.
Actually, I already did follow those instructions and the NIC is working because it will start loading some of the files from the image. Its just that it halts when it gets to that message regarding Iastor.sys.
