Combine drivers from multiple Win7 installs to single image
- by MikeyB
I need to prepare a Windows 7 image with drivers for multiple systems (Lenovo laptops).
I currently have an image prepared on one laptop type but need to grab the drivers appropriate for the other laptop types as well to ensure that it works on all systems.
From what I can tell, the procedure will be:
create a boot CD with imageX
take a .wim image prepared on the first type of systems
take .wim images from the other systems
mount the other images in WAIK
extract the drivers from the other images
inject the drivers into the first .wim
boot a system with the boot CD and redeploy the updated .wim image into the Windows partition
take an image of the drive with usual imaging tools
This all seems a little too convoluted, but I'm willing to do it to get the proper drivers into the image.
This is (seemingly) necessarily complicated by having more than one OS on the disk image.
Am I on the right track?
