   Click Next and add device drivers if required.
   

   Info

   Note: You can find driver install packages in several places. Most manufacturers create a driver folder on the hard drive of a new PC, often named after the manufacturer. If this is not present, you can download drivers from the device or PC vendor's website. For older PCs, manufacturers of devices and motherboards included driver CDs in the packaging, however, these may not be the latest. For more information see Adding device driver software to Windows PE.

   This dialog enables you to add drivers for any Network and Disk controllers that are unsupported in Windows PE.
   Unsupported devices will be indicated with a warning icon. Click the 'Update Driver' button to locate driver files.
