Hi Guy's this is just a simple question, and maybe someone can help me with some tips and suggestions. I have been trying to deploy/capture an XP image from a HP DC7900 ultra-slim form PC. I have deployed images before with RIS with no problems, but now I am trying to use WDS to image and deploy to the aforementioned PC's. I have follwed the instructions on this site, I have even managed to inject the NIC drivers, unfortunately I am still trying to find the correct ones. A couple of questions to start with; 1- if I want to capture an XP machine, does it have to have the pre-installed version of XP, the one that is on the recovery disc, or can I use any ISO version? 2- has anyone successfully captured and deployed an XP machine? if so how did you do it? Sorry to be a pain, but I have serched the net for this but everything thing seems to be on deploying Vista or Server 2008.... Any help would be appreciated

Yes...

Don't worry this was my mistake... I was trying to load the wrong .wim files.. Dhhhhhhhhhhhh... school boy error.

Hi I have used WDS before, more familiar with RIS however, I am running into some problem trying to use the WSIM when I try to select an image it tells me that the location does not contain a valid windows image, which is strange as it is the site image that we use to deploy vista business... any ideas?? I have managed to deploy and capture an image before when I worked for another company?
