The Mystery of $OEM$
From the archive (2009). Written for the tools of the time, so some details may be out of date.
Alot of the time i see people confused about exactly how to use $OEM$ to get files copied down.
In it’s simplest form, lets say you have Windows XP SP3.
Here is a screenshot of the structure:
The drivers folder will allow you to put anything you want to come down when you build the image. In my case I have the SATA drivers and the Vmware SCSI drivers come down, those are the ONLY drivers in my image.
Then under system32, i add devcon.exe so i can do any driver updates if need be.
That’s it, much easier to understand i think when you have a visual aid!
