The boot CD ISO image that you create is tailored to the machine being restored;
therefore, it must contain the correct network and mass storage drivers. If you
anticipate that you will be restoring to different hardware from the machine on
which the recovery point originated, then you must include storage controller and
other drivers in the boot CD. For information about injecting those drivers in the
boot CD, see “Injecting Drivers in a Boot CD” on page 161.
