Windows V2P Conversions 141
Windows V2P Overview
Step 2: Create Driver Folder
To have a successful conversion, you must supply the appropriate hardware drivers for
the target platform.
1 Compile the appropriate hardware drivers for the target platform.
You may use the Windows startup disk, or collected drivers (in .INF format).
Drivers may be compressed in CAB files.
2 Place the drivers in a network share accessible to the vConverter machine.
Tip In most cases, it is not necessary to specify Driver Folder. If the Driver Cache was
deleted, or you do not have standard hardware on the target, it is necessary to provide
drivers. Please see more info on Driver Folder in Preparing the Target System for V2P.
