Thanks very much for your reply.
What I looking for is a way for XPe to ignore what type of CD/DVD ROM drive
I am using. I can remove the newdevice.dll and then will not get the message
that a "new device has been found re-boot now".
The problem is that if I don't use the CD/DVD ROM that the XPe image was
built with it takes a much longer time to boot up because, I believe, XP
still searching for a better device driver in the back ground.
What I need is for XPe to not care what actuall CD/DVD ROM is installed.
Any thoughts?
