I would definitely remove the Add New Hardware Wizard
component from your image if it is present. It is the
component most responsible for spawning "new hardware
found" and "insert media for unknown device" prompts.

Plug N Play will operate in a "silent mode" in most cases
and not throw error dialogs about missing media and
whatnot. But if you have just about everything in the
database in your image, it may be very difficult to
remove all components that interact with pop up dialogs.

Make sure your driver inf's are digitally signed, or they
will be rejected during PnP without notification. You can
disable the Driver Signing Policy to allow unsigned inf's
and drivers to install, but obtaining and using signed
drivers is the best way to go.
