Sysprep USB

[Eric Fehlhaber]

I use Ghost & sysprep to create images of PCs. Many new PCs do not have
PS/2 ports and come with USB mice and keyboards. The problem that I am
having is that the USB mice and keyboards to not work until the first "next"
button is pushed to allow sysprep to load the drivers. Does anyone know how
to make the keyboard and mouse reconiziable from the verty begining? I have
been simply inserting a add-on PS/2 card to get around this, but that takes
some time. Does anyone know how to fix this??

Thanks!

Eric,
I know this isn't any help, but.... I've imaged & syspreped a number of
Dell Dimension 3100s that are USB only without trouble.

Eric, please post your sysprep script (minus your private information like
passwords and product key). It may be possible to make the mini setup skip
the the "next" button section all together. We have gx280 and gx520's here
and this is how we avoid this issue.

Below is the sysprep.ini info. I don't want a fully automated sysprep
because I want to be able to change the PC name to match our naming
convention. I would appreciate any help skipping the initial "Next" and "I
accept screen". I selected these options when I ran the sysprep.ini wizard,
but the windows appear each time anyway. ?? (sysprep XP SP2 is used)

Nevermind... I fixed my problem! My new sysprep.ini file is below for

Hey Eric I noticed a couple of things that might give you trouble. When you
reboot after sysprep the minisetup should start right where you are asked to
enter a computer name. ALL other data should be provided. "***" represents
changes that I have made to your script. Look it over and see what you think.
