This was made with the help of Bâshrat the Sneaky's Tutorial

If you love BTS DriverPacks and you want to know and easy way to make one yourself, well your in luck cuz I found an easy simple way you can make your own BTS DriverPack thats "10 MBs or Less" depending on how many devices you have, the one for my machine is "6 MBs" YES!
First you need a Driver Update/Backup program, I use "Driver Genius Professional" to Update and Backup my Drivers
Free Driver Backup Utils:
DriverGrabber Beta by Siginet, Driver Collector and Double Driver

Simply update its Driver knowledge Database using the "Live Update" feature, now check to see if you have the latest drivers with the "Update Button", if not download, install them and reboot.
Now check the drivers you want to backup and hit the "Start Backup" BUTTON.

You will be left with files like these, with only the neccesary files needed for DPs Base, Driver Genius leaves the other crap behind, now Rename them to something Short, 2 characters or less. (its safe to delete the files marked in color RED).

Create a folder on the Desktop and name it D, inside that folder create a 3 folder and inside the 3 create another folder and name it whatever you want (I named mine R for Rick you can use your first initial) put the renamed driver backups into R folder, now use 7zip to compress it.

Naming the DriverPack: "DP_Name_wnt5_x86-32_X.7z" Change the part that says "Name" to anything you like, and change "X" to represent Version Number (example 1.0).

Compression: Archive Format=7z, Copresion Level=Ultra, Compression Method=LZMA, Dictionary Size=32 or 64, Word Size=256.

You will end up with something like this, your own DriverPack :)

Now put it into DPs Base 3rd Party DriverPacks folder and slipstream it into XP, now make ISO burn and Enjoy
Good Luck! Making Your Own :D

:blush: I just copied and pasted it from my other tuto over @driverpacks, It was a big hit over there too

I think it can be used for driver integration with nLite also, ive never tried it though
