This was it! I had learned through trial and error (and a lot of research) that I needed to be using MDT 2010 and the newest version of WAIK. That and this suggestion solved my issues. Why the hell Dell would put drivers anywhere except under the drivers sections? Who knows. I guess since they are PE drivers they should be considered System Management. Thanks everyone!

I know this is an old thread, but this is exactly what I'm trying to do and can't get it to work. We use WDS to deploy XP/Vista/7 images. We just started getting Dell Latitude 6410's and evidently Dell changed the NIC in them. I almost get to the initial screen to choose the image and I get an error stating the NIC drivers were not found. I tried everything I could think of. Putting XP/Vista/7 drivers into the deploy (boot.wim) file. I even created a new Deploy boot image from the boot.wim that was on the Windows 7 DVD that came with the laptop. No luck. Downloaded drivers from Dell's site. No luck. I don't know if maybe I'm injecting the drivers wrong, using the wrong drivers, or something I haven't even thought of yet. Since all our laotop are going to be 6410's now I need to get this done. ANy help would be greatly appereciated. Oh, and I tried using the peimg.exe command line in PE Tools but I get the error that the image is not a pe image, or whatever it says. I doni't have the exact message because I got fed up and shut the machine down. Thanks in advance!
