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.

Solution: On the Sysprep.inf file, modify the [Unattend] header as shown below: [Unattend] OemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\Net OemPreinstall = Yes The driver files for the Broadcom NetXtreme adapter must reside in this folder, which is located on the system drive (where the operating system resides). If other drivers are to be loaded, then Drivers\Net can be appended to the paths listed and separated by a semicolon: Example: OemPnpDriversPath=Drivers\Video;Drivers\Net For Windows XP, the driver files to be included are B57win32.inf, B57win32.cat, and B57xp32.sys. For Windows 2000, the driver files to be included are B57win32.inf, B57win32.cat, and B57w2k.sys. The Sysprep utility must run with the -pnp switch, which enables the system to rescan for new devices that can be added during the mini-setup.
