It is the automatic update feature that is responsible for the installation of the BIOS Dell drivers on your computer. If this has not happened, you should take the following steps:ġ. Regarding the correct drivers to use with WinPE, have you read any of the readme.My device has not been properly installed - what should I do?Īfter connecting a new Dell device to your computer, the system should automatically install the Dell OptiPlex 380 BIOS A04 driver. Obviously, if you intend to deploy the image to identical hardware then there is no need to inject additional drivers, but if your machines have different video cards, for example, you would need to include video drivers for the variety of types you wish to support. However, for Deploy Anywhere to work, it needs to have a driver library available, so that it can ensure that the image contains drivers for the hardware the image is being deployed to. Was this in another thread? It's not something I recall doing.Īnyway, the whole point of Deploy Anywhere is to allow an image captured on one particular piece of hardware, to be 'Deployed Anywhere' onto any other PC capable of running the operating system. If my image which is running Windows 7 has the drivers loaded on it already why would I need to install the Windows 7 drivers in Deploy anywhere? > You told the other tech that he needed to load the Win 7 drivers in delpoy anywhere. This PNP ID needs to be in the INF file from the driver in order for the driver to be correctly associated with the NIC by the plug and play logic. If you have an existing machine with a working operating system on it, you can go into device manager and find the PNP ID for the NIC or any other device. An INF and SYS are the very minimum required. They need to be installed or unpacked, so that the actual driver files are available to WinPE - these usually consist of an INF, SYS and CAT file, and perhaps a DLL. When you download drivers, they may come in an EXE or ZIP format.

I would strongly recommend standardising on WinPE rather than PCDOS as modern hardware uses SATA exclusively and has hard disk capacities that are way beyond the capabilities to PCDOS to handle. WinPE 2 natively supports the original SATA chipsets, but some of the newer RAID chipsets need the appropriate drivers added. You therefore have to source and integrate the Vista 32 bit drivers for any NIC and Hard Disk chipsets in your hardware inventory. The version of WinPE that this release uses, is version 2, based on the Vista 32 bit kernel. It would help if you could specify the version of Ghost Solution Suite you are working with, but let's assume you have LiveUpdated to 11.
