Q: When I try to install
network interface controller ( NIC) drivers into my
Windows PE image using DRVINST.EXE [provided in the
OEM
Preinstallation Kit (OPK) CD], the
DRVINST.EXE fails with an error message
that there are some files missing.
A: Dell recommends that you use DRIVERINST.BAT (provided with DTK).
However, if you use DRVINST.EXE from Microsoft to install the NIC drivers
into your Windows PE image, you need to download and extract required
NIC drivers for Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 to a common
directory. Then, merge the contents of Base_drivers from both. Use the
merged contents with DRVINST.EXE to integrate the NIC drivers into your
Windows PE image.
Q: In Windows, I see a blue screen when I delete a virtual disk and create a
new one without initialization and attempt to format the disk.
A: Initialize (fast init) the drives before formatting the disk. This will prevent
the issue.
