Help me with Sysprep or Mass Sotrage Controllers

[Halbowitz]

Hey all.. and thanks for the help.

Basically, its like this. Im building an image for my company. Easy
enough. Problem is the other machines seem to have differnt mass
storage controllers and therefore BSOD at bootup.

Now, ive used sysprep and ran the -bdsm (If thats right, recalling from
the top of my head) command and it does load all the mass storage
controllers and then it will work on the other machines.
However, it resets all the desktop settings.

What would be easiest for me is if i didnt have to use sysprep and
could just load all those Mass Storage controllers.
That way i could just load those, image it, and deploy it.

How would i do that?

And if you cold please respond to halbowitz AT %gmail% DOT com (remove
the %'s) because im viewing this through google groups and your reply
probably wont show in time for me to use it today.

Thanks again for any help.

Missing [SysprepMassStorage] Section Causes STOP 0x7B Error

Sysprep uses a mass storage section to allow you to specify the mass storage
drivers that you want installed. It also allows you to use different mass storage
devices for different systems. So you can possibly use the same image for machines
that have mass storage drivers. You won't have to re-create the images so many times.
You do have to make sure that the OemPreinstall=Yes is set in the [Unattended]
section of the Unattend file, or else the drivers for the mass storage device aren't
going to be properly recognized during setup.
