There's a way of using nLite to do it I believe, though I've never done it myself. It involves slipstreaming an iso. You can also add windows updates, take out stuff to make the iso smaller, etc.

From what I know you can slipstream SATA drivers and service packs, but I do not know about like chipset/video drivers/etc. Use NLite nLite - Deployment Tool for the bootable Unattended Windows installation
