vishyc88 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Hi friends, How do i inject a network driver into winPE so that i can make some of the new systems on my network to work? I face this problem when i try to fire up windows 7 installation from WInPE 3.0 over the network. Now the problem is, because the PE image is unable to provide the required network driver, the installation fails to start! This is what i have done so far using WAIK, but I have failed to get it to work:>copype.cmd x86 c:\winpe >dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\winpe\winpe.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c:\winpe\mount >dism /image:c:\winpe\mount /add-driver /driver:c:\drivers >dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\winpe\mount /commit>copy c:\winpe\winpe.wim c:\winpe\iso\sources\boot.wim >oscdimg –n –bc:\winpe\etfsboot.com c:\winpe\iso c:\winpe\winpe.iso Is there anything additional i should do ? Please help! Edited April 14, 2011 by vishyc88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo_Platoon Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) I may be wrong, but it seems like you are trying to add multiple drivers that reside in subfolders of the C:\drivers folder. To add all of the drivers in the subfolders, you have to add the switch to recurse through the subfolders. Your command line should look like this:dism /image:c:\winpe\mount /add-driver /driver:c:\drivers /RecurseLet me know if that works.

vishyc88 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks for the reply echo! The /Recurse wouldnt make any difference here because there are no subdirectories! What i have done is, Ive extracted the files from the EXE setup file from Intel into a folder and i believe it contains all the necessary inf, sys files etc. So i reckon its something else!?!

allen2 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) Did you checked the inf to see if there was a directory tree ? Sometimes you need to create the tree that is made during the setup or modify the inf file. Edited April 14, 2011 by allen2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 You can't add a folder into the image with DISM like that. If you want to add a driver, you need to specify the driver file. If you do not know the INF name, use *.inf instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vishyc88 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 But when I use the "/drivers" option, It tells me that its adding drivers. I thought dism is capable of adding multiple drivers from a directory! And i even read about this is in Technet. Ok Let me me just try out your suggestion Trip.

Tripredacus Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 For version control (including use of spreadsheet) I only inject 1 driver at a time. I may batch up the injection tho, but I never inject all drivers in a release, only the ones I know I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
