Injecting Drivers In A Boot CD
Driver injection is used to facilitate the operability between the recovery console, network adapter, and
storage on the target server.
If you anticipate restoring to dissimilar hardware, you must inject storage controller, RAID, AHCI, chipset
and other drivers in the boot CD. These drivers make it possible for the operating system to detect and
operate all devices successfully.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the boot CD will automatically contain Windows 7 PE 32-bit drivers.
To inject drivers in a boot CD:
1. Download the drivers from the manufacturer’s website for the server and unpack them.
2. Compress the folder that contains the drivers using a file compressing utility, such as WinZip.
3. In the Create Boot CD dialog box, in the Drivers pane, click Add a Driver.
4. To locate the compressed driver file, navigate through the filing system. Select the file, and then click
Open.
The injected drivers appear highlighted in the Drivers pane.
Creating The Boot CD
To create a boot CD, after you have named the boot CD and specified the path, created a connection
and optionally injected the drivers, from the Create Boot CD screen, click Create Boot CD. The ISO
image is then created.
Viewing The ISO Image Creation Progress
To view the ISO image creation progress, select the Events tab, and then under Tasks, you can monitor
the progress for building the ISO image.
NOTE: You can also view the progress of the creation of the ISO image in the Monitor Active Task
dialog box.
When the creation of the ISO image is complete, it is available on the Boot CDs page, accessible from the
Tools menu.
Accessing The ISO Image
To access the ISO image, navigate to the output path you specified, or you can click the link to download
the image to a location from which you can then load it on the new system. For example, network drive.
Loading A Boot CD
When you have created the boot CD image, boot the target server with the newly created boot CD.
NOTE: If you created the boot CD using DHCP, note the IP address and password.
