This is for the Windows (and WinPE) drivers for any PC that uses Intel network drivers 825XX (Such as 82567LM for example) and how to put them into WinPE.
First you will need to download the drivers from Intel, NOT Dell or HP or whatever brand you have.
You can find the site http://downloadcenter.intel.com/
On the search, type in the network card type (example, 82567LM). Follow the instructions, make sure you get the Vista drivers and not the ones for Windows 64.
The file you should be downloaded should be called "PROVISTA32_v13_5.exe"
Next, you can either use WinZip or WinRAR to extract the files by following this Blog: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/how-extract-drivers-self-installing-executable
Or if you can not use the above mentioned programs, the steps are as follows: Make a shortcut of the file. Edit the shortcut and have it run with this line at the end "/e /f C:\temp\825xx\TEMP"
What that will do is extract the drivers from the .exe file to the location C:\temp\825xx\TEMP.
Now in Ghost Boot Wizard, you will need to add the drivers as both Vista and XP, and point to the following location "C:\temp\825xx\TEMP\PRO1000\Win32"
Ghost Boot Wizard should add the drivers. Make sure you have them selected with a checkmark before you close out.

After messing with the files for a while I noticed that after extracting the drivers from the .exe driver file the actual driver file comes out as a ".dos" not ".do" as indictated in some instructions. Made that small file extension change and then magic!
2 years and 4 Service Packs later this is still aproblem. Using DS 6.9 SP4 & DS6.9 SP5.
I'm still having difficulty adding drivers.

That is a very good point. Some Freeware programs have EULAs that require licensing for larger organizations. I haven't checked the EULAs for either. But using those tend to be easier and faster than the command line option. So, if WinZIP or WinRAR are available, definitely faster.
I know for my company, for some reason we can't use WinZip (even the free version) because of some license issue. I'm not sure about WinRar but I'll have our people check it out.
To be on the safe side I found another Blog that talks about this, I'll edit to put the URL in.
Additionally, using WInZIP will allow you to do this. Open WinZIP, click Open Archive, and then change the "Files of Type" to "All Files". Then select the executable and extract. This should work with WinRAR as well, but i have not tried it.

I got drivers from Intel but not the ones that you mentioned.
I will try the link in the post and let you know how it works
