Recently, all I have been doing is recently for my customers formatting formatting and formatting. I blame the holidays.
Now as a new man to the world of computer repairs, I have explorered many ways of automating the process such as unattended installs etc, but Im still quite sure the process can be optimized even more. I charge much less than anyone nearby and occasioanlyl i egt computers with software modems and such that I can spend hours finding drivers etc. Now this isn't a problem, this is the way we did things at my last place of work, however it can mean it can be a gamble when charging a flat format fee, because some computers can take 50 minutes, otheres can take a few hours.
I was wondering if there was a way if I can add common drivers to the xp install process without obviously violating the elgal windows requirements. I am more or less looking for information how to add drivers in their raw form (like .inf etc) drivers into the install process so that if windows needs them during install it will use them.
I stress on the legal, I understand that making a cd image is not possible with modifications.
Any thoughts?
Its just a small business but it would be nice to make it more efficient.
