You need to make the drivers available (that are not part of the OS
install sysprep runs a rediscover on the cloned machine)
Do this by copying the driver set required into the c:\sysprep
directory....

So it would be something like this if you need to add drivers for your
DVD and network card:

c:\sysprep\drivers\dvd_drive\
c:\sysprep\drivers\NIC\

ensure you have the cat or inf file in there but make sure you dont
have the exe the device manaufacturer supplied that updates the
device.....

Then in the sysprep.inf file add the directory paths for those drivers
[unattended]
OEMPnPDriversPath = \sysprep\drivers\dvd_drive;\sysprep\drivers\NIC
