I would like to add the latest drivers for my hardware and service
packs to my copy of windows xp cd before installing it. How can I do
this?

I cannot use disk imaging because I upgrade my hardware often.

Also, Is there an "easy to understand guide" to unattended
installation?

Thanks.
 
There should be a deploy.cab file on your XP CD (support folder). It has a
well written help file for unattends. As for service packs, those would
need to be slipstreamed onto the base I386 folder before installation. You
may want to consider a "base" image with just XP Sp1 and hotfixes on it,
sysprep that and then add/remove hardware as you like.
