Can someone help me find concise and complete instructions for WDS?

Question

I've gotten it to work once for a smaller deployment. Now I'm building a new image (Windows 7 Pro x86) to capture but I can't get it to work again because I think the instructions I use aren't really precise and clear (I'm using this), while helpful, it confuses me on some parts (like the answer file and capturing the image properly.

Thank you!

Sorry for not mentioning. WDS is on a Server 2008 machine and I'm deploying Windows 7 Pro x86 — ItsPronounced, Aug 02 '11 at 16:37
My main issue right now is setting up the unattended and oobe xml file for my new capture. I'm not sure if it is associated with my captured image. — ItsPronounced, Aug 02 '11 at 22:24

Are you using MDT 2010 to create your image? It ties in nicely with WDS and comes with some excellent documentation.
