Can I make my XPe image more compatible with POST-FBA drivers installs?

You know for some drivers it doesn't want to install unless you first
componetize it and pre-build it in Target designer.

Is there something I can do to make my XPe increase the compatibility
for post-FBA driver installs?

It would be not ideal if in the future we want to install a new
USB-*something* device but the unit must be sent back to update to a
new target image because the driver has to be first componetized.

Also sometimes some drivers ask for "please insert XP CD-ROM", how can
I get around this?
 
Nice thing with drivers is that you can use few generic drivers needed to
support first boot.
All other drivers (inf files and binary files) only need to be present in
their required folders.

FBA PnP and PnP during the normal work of XPe will handle all required
installations runtime when new supported hardware is detected.

It is possible that you are missing some files in your XPe image.
You should try to see is setupapi.log what files are required and to make
them present in XPe image.

Unfortunately you will have to detect and chose all files that you think
your image will ever need.
