Is there a way to get NIC drivers on using the Spybot boot CD creator?

Spybot CD Creator could not find three files

oscdimg.exe
peimg.exe
imagex.exe

I am using Vista SP2 and trying to create a disk to use on my XP SP2 desktop. I am unab le to find the above files. Where shoud I be able to find them?

Hi- I created an ISO disk successfully for Vista using the instructions in this thread and the SD CD boot creator. However when I try to boot up my Toshiba Satellite running Windows Vista Ultimate I get the error:

Intel Boot Agent - No boot filename received.

I reset my BIOS to check the DVD drive first, and I know it's trying, but after the above message it gives up on the DVD drive device, then moves on to boot from the hard drive.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Mea culpa, newbie ISO creation learning experience. I figured out that just copying over the ISO file to the CD doesn't do it... figured out you must use the ISO file to creat an ISO image using 3rd party s/w (not do-able with Vista's built in burning utility). All is good.
Thanks.

Just thought I would report on my success and falures on building this CD. First the good news.
On a Vista machine the build process was easy and painless. :D
On XP very painfull I kept getting BSOD during the point in the process it said it was copying system files close to the beginning of the process. If you are interested in more information on the XP failure I can at a later time post machine and OS information for you as well as dump files or whatever you need.

Hello, I'm trying to use the spybot boot disk. I have created it and booted successfully off of it. My display is black with a toolbar at the bottom with options to create a command prompt or to reboot. I can create the command prompt, but can't find a file that looks like spybot to run. How do I start spybot from here? Thanks.

How do I make Spybot scan the hard disk using this CD? I tried it and I only get error messages from Spybot.

Thanks for the reply! I got this:
"Could not load library: X:\Apps\Spybot (...)\advcheck.dll"
Then after it starts checking I get this other error message for every "bot" check:
"Error during check![name of the bot + some hex number] Access violation"

And that's it.
