Hi. Not sure if this is possible, but i do not want the HP softpaqs after downloaded to be copied over to the USB drive, if one is attached.

For example here are the snippets in the log, see last line:

OSDCloud DriverPack
DriverPack has been matched to HP EliteBook Ultra G1i 14 inch Notebook Next Gen AI PC Win11 24H2 sp157866
Matching DriverPack identified
-Name HP EliteBook Ultra G1i 14 inch Notebook Next Gen AI PC Win11 24H2 sp157866
-BaseName sp157866
-Product 8CE0
-FileName sp157866.exe
-Url https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp157501-158000/sp157866.exe
Testing Paths:
  D:\OSDCloud\DriverPacks\DISM\HP\8CE0
  D:\OSDCloud\DriverPacks\DISM\HP\HP EliteBook Ultra G1i 14 inch Notebook Next Gen AI PC
  D:\OSDCloud\DriverPacks\DISM\HP\sp157866
**[1/19/2026 7:25:20 AM] Copying Driver Pack C:\Drivers\sp157866.exe to OSDCloudUSB at D:\OSDCloud\DriverPacks\HP**

If i remove the USB drive before this step, the HP softpaq is not copied over to the USB drive, and it remains on C:.
This is the behavior i want.

For our environment, the USB is used to boot and that is it.
We do not want it to stage any drivers.

Is this possible?
