MDT starting to inject wrong drivers...especially HD controller drivers?

What I have for imported drivers on my MDT
Optiplex 740
Optiplex 755
Optiplex 760
Optiplex 790
Latitude E6420
Precision M6600
Inspirion 6400
Dimension 5150
Latitude D630
Optiplex 745
Latitude D531I created Win 7 x64, Win 7 x86, and Win XP x86 folders in the Out-of-Box drivers. Imported the respective OS and architecture drivers into the folders.
In Advanced Config | selection profiles, I created Win 7 x64, Win 7 x86, and Win XP x86 profiles. Each selection profile is associated with the respective out-of-box drivers folder as previously mentioned.
For task sequence, let's say "deploy win xp x86 to target", I have that associated with the win xp x86 profile.
Once in a while after doing the deploying of OS and on first reboot, the machine (could be any model) would BSOD and then restarts. And it's a never-ending cycle, which leads me to think the wrong HD controller drivers got injected.
How can I go about fixing that????

I'm just curious if you're using scenario #2 or #3 to deploy your drivers per Johan's documentation (http://www.deployvista.com/Default.aspx?tabid=78&EntryID=132)?
If your right and its HD controller related, chances are MDT could be pulling down an older version of the Intel Matrix Storage Drivers. I had this BSOD problem with my Dells up until I forced them all to use the latest 8.9.0.1023 version.

It's #2 that I've implemented.
So should I delete all old instances of INtel Matrix Storage Drivers from each profile? and have just one single newest version?

That's what fixed it for me. I followed the instructions via this post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistadeployment/thread/98f123d4-9190-4169-a376-7a0caf0ffb2a
If that doesn't work, you may want to alter your deployment scenario for drivers. We're using #3 for total control to avoid any future conflicts.

I ended up doing an overhaul of MDT and implement #3
So for example:
out-of-box-drivers: "optiplex 760 win xp 32 bit" folder which has all the win xp 32 bit drivers for the optiplex 760 imported
selection profile: "optiplex 760 win xp 32 bit" profile that has "optiplex 760 win xp 32 bit" out-of-box drivers folder selected
task sequnce: "optiplex 760 win xp 32 bit deployment" with a win xp 32 bit .wim image selected (I only have one which I've created when I implemented #2). In the preinstall section, I specified "optiplex 760 win xp 32 bit" profile for where the drivers are to be injected.
I did the above three for all the other models of desktops and laptops.
