The Flat file installs fine.

The following message is received when attempting to deploy a RIPREP image
through Remote Installation Services (RIS): "The operating system image you
selected does not contain the necessary drivers for your network adapter. Try
selecting a different operating system image. If the problem persists,
contact your administrator. Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit."

This problem is not isolated to the Broadcom adapter. However, based on
several inquiries, we are publishing the following instructions based on
other customers successfully working around this issue:

1. Place the Broadcom driver files in the original image folder (the
image folder created when risetup.exe was executed for the first time).
Example: i:\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\(Original Image)

2. Place the Broadcom driver files in the i386 subfolder under the
original image folder
Example: i:\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\(Original Image)\i386

3. Place the Broadcom driver files for the network adapter in the
RIPREP Image folder.
Example: i:\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\(RIPREP Image)

4. Place the Broadcom adapter drivers in the i386 subfolder where the
RIPREP Image is located.
Example: i:\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\(RIPREP Image)\i386

The error message that you receive is a message that the RIS Server displays
because it cannot find on the RIS Flat CD Image the proper drivers for the
Broadcom NIC of your Destination PC.

So just make sure to get the latest drivers for your Broadcom NIC from the
Broadcom website and put them to:
\\RIS-Server\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\WINXP-SP2-CD\i386

where "WINXP-SP2-CD" is for me the Folder for my RIS Flat CD Image.

For a "Broadcom 57xx" NIC, you have only 3 files that are the following:
- b57win32.cat
- b57win32.inf
- b57xp32.sys

If I'm not wrong, you have some Broadcom files already existing by default
on the RIS Flat CD Image so just replace them with the new ones you've just
downloaded from the Broadcom website.
And after that everything should workl fine.

It works for me so, I guess it should work for you too!

Let me know if it worked or not!
