Note:
The PUT (-p) routine uses the directory structure created in the GET (-g)
routine. For proper placement of the edited file, ensure that the edited file is
located in the same directory as the getlist.txt file, as follows:
c:\temp\preboot\usrintfc\pdaguien.ini
Example 1: Adding device drivers (such as ethernet) to the
Predesktop Area
The following example provides instruction on adding device drivers to the
Predesktop Area
1.
Obtain device drivers from the vendor’s Web site or other media.
2.
Create the following directory structures:
C:\TEMP\MININT\INF
C:\TEMP\MININT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
3.
Copy all network driver *.inf files to the \MININT\INF directory. (For
example, E100B325.inf needs to be in the \MININT\INF directory.)
4.
Copy all *.sys files to the \MININT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory. (For
example, E100B325.sys needs to be in \MININT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
directory.)
5.
Copy any related *.dll, *.exe, or other files to the \MININT\SYSTEM32\
DRIVERS directory. (For example, the E100B325.din or INTELNIC.dll files must
be in the \MININT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory.)
Notes:
a.
Catalog files are unnecessary, as they are not processed by the Rescue and
Recovery environment. The preceding instructions apply to any device
driver that might be required to configure the computer.
b.
With the limitation of Windows PE, you might have to manually apply
some configuration applications or settings as registry updates.
6.
To put the device drivers into the Rescue and Recovery environment, enter the
following from a command line:
C:\ RRUTIL.EXE -p C:\temp
Example 2 : Adding mass-storage controller drivers (such as
SATA) to the Predesktop Area
1.
Create a subdirectory under \minint\system32\ to contain the driver.
2.
Copy *.sys into \minint\systme32\drivers.
3.
Update \minint\system32\winpeoem.sif to include the subdirectory containing
the driver (for an example, examine this file from 4.21 build 37).
4.
Ensure the iastor file and folder are in the subdirectory you created..
5.
Make sure the subdirectory you created containing the iastor driver has a valid
txtsetup.oem file.
