Help with deploy of Windows 7 with HP Drivers (complete noob)

[UserInterface]

I am trying to get windows 7 deployed on some old HP laptops.

I have the following models

610 (about 10)

620 (about 40)

630 (our new model) (about 10 so far)

6910p (hundreds)

nc6400 (about 30)

8400p (about 20)

8460 (our new model) (about 20)

 

Now out of these the main one that I wish to get working is the 6910p

 

I have followed many guides on how to do this but they all fail for me (assume it's me )

This being the main guide I followed, but it seems to install to much on the laptop as I run out of IRQs

 

I was hoping that there would be someone on here that has HP model that can help as I have been doing this on and off for 3 months and just can not seem to get my head around it.

 

Windows

What steps I have used

1. I have had to use the HP operating disk so that we do not have to provide the windows key for each machine
    
   
2. Created a build and capture task sequence.
    
   
3. Captured and stored on network.
    
   Deploys OK, but sucks as it has no drivers or updates (as another department manages WSUS separately).
   

Drivers

What steps I have tried.

1. Install the HP Softpaq Download Manager.
    
   
2. Select the required model of laptop (in this case 6910p x86)
    
   
3. Download all the drivers and unpack them into another folder (This downloads more then one driver type, eg AMD\Intel video driver and I assume that SCCM should only install the required\compatible one)
    
   
4. Right click and select import drivers in SCCM 2007 and point to the path where HP Softpaq Download Manager placed all the downloaded drivers
   

This is where I am missing something I think. I have noticed that on our server we have a folder called "Source_Drivers" that seems to have all the drivers in a folder such as "Intel Graphics driver 6.14.10.5029" and this is where I had created a folder to copy all the softpaqs that I had downloaded. However I have just noticed that there is also a folder called "SCCM Drivers" that has all the drivers in a folder with a name like "DAB2C841-57FE-4ADD-BAC0-A5C4D2B55D56" and this just jumped out at me as I just read this post on this site and in the pictures they are in the same format (although these are dell drivers so not sure if that matters)

 

Can someone tell me what I should be doing for the next step?

This may not answer your question, however, this is the process I use to install my HP Elitebook drivers:

 

Using HP SoftPaq Download Manager, I download the SSM-compliant softpaqs

I copy the downloaded files (.exe, .cva, and .html) to a share on my server

I add the required SSM files to the share (ssm.cab and ssm.exe)

I execute ssm.exe and hit next until the last screen where I hit "Build Database"

I add my ssm.bat to this share. The ssm.bat I created is this - %~dp0\ssm.exe %~dp0 /A

When finished, I create a package pointing to the share as the source, and create new program pointing to ssm.bat

Add install software task to OSD task sequence. I normally place this towards the end of the TS.

 

I do have driver packages installed, but only import the NIC so it continues the TS after the setup windows and configmgr task.

 

Hope this helps
