My list of drivers are not being integrated. Nor do they appear in the mounted wim ..\windows\inf. The only drivers that do get integrted are the the last 3 on the list. I've attached pre and post integration sreenshots for review and consideration. I'm going to try with DISM next. In the meantime any insight would be much appreciated.

EDIT :: Okay, I figured out what was happening here. It turns out that Windows 7 flaged all the drivers I donwloaded from the net with a Data Stream that blocks admin access to the file. Windows does this automatically to prevent malicious software from unkknown sources from infecting the host computer.

As a result DISM was not integrating any of the files I download because they had been flaged with a Data Stream. More about this behaviour and how to disable it using Group Policy can be found here.

@Compstuff,

Funny you should mention AlternateStreamView. When I became aware of my the problem, I didn't feel like having to right click on each each driver file to unblock it manualy, with over 100+ files, that would have been insane and time consuming. So I went looking for a tool that would help me get the job done in bulk. Low and behold, nirsoft had just the thing in their massive asernal of useful tools.

I have since added AlternateStreamView to my nirsoft suite of tools. :D And I dont have to lower security, another plus.
