At this time, any additional customizations should be applied. Typical examples are
applying a custom wallpaper or desktop theme, changing power profile settings,
setting device options, etc.
Obtaining drivers for the product family
 There are three ways to obtain drivers for an entire product family.
From the RestoreCD Plus! (Windows XP) or Restore DVD Plus! (Windows Vista /
Windows 7) provided with the reference system. The Restore CD/DVD has the
advantage of containing all drivers in one place. In addition, all of the drivers
are packaged in a manner that is very cohesive with the image deployment
process. However, the Restore CD/DVD usually does not contain the very latest
versions of all drivers. Rather, it contains the versions of the drivers that shipped
from the factory release of the product. To get the latest versions of the driver,
please see one of the other options below. Please note that the contents of the
Restore CD/DVD are typically compressed in cabinet, or ‗cab‘ format. There
are several tools available to uncompress this format including ‗expand.exe‘,
which is included in the ―%windir%\system32‖ directory. After gathering
drivers from the Restore CD/DVD, all extracted files must be expanded prior to
use within the common image scenario.
