Importing drivers to boot images
The Driver Import Wizard allows the network and mass storage drivers to be injected into WinPE boot
image. Select any boot image in which drivers are added. This step is optional if you plan on using the
WinPE Driver cab provided by Dell separately from this wizard. See the section titled “WinPE Driver
CAB” for additional details. After a driver is added to the boot image update it’s using the Update the
distribution points when finished option.

WinPE Driver CABs
WinPE Driver CAB, separate from a platform OS specific CAB, helps you easily add storage and network
support for client platforms. The following link details the importing of these drivers using the dism
tool from Microsoft. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680372.aspx). These CABs are
released in line with version numbers that follow the naming convention used for Microsoft Windows PE
(for example Windows Vista-based PE -2.x, Windows - based PE-3.x and so forth). Make sure that you
use the appropriate version of the PE driver CAB corresponding to the version of WinPE that is enabled
by using System Center service packs.
