If you are unsure which drivers are required by your target server, click the System
Info tab in the Universal Recovery Console. This tab shows all system hardware and
device types for the target server to which you want to restore.
This task is a step in “Roadmap for Performing a Bare Metal Restore for a Windows
Machine” on page 157. It is part of the process for “Launching a Bare Metal Restore for
Windows” on page 164.
Complete the following task to inject drivers to your target server.
To inject drivers to your target server
1. Download the drivers from the manufacturer’s Web site for the server and unpack
them.
2. Compress each driver into a .zip file using an appropriate compression utility (for
example, WinZip) and copy it to the target server.
3. In the Universal Recovery Console, click Driver Injection.
4. Navigate through the filing system to locate the compressed driver file and select
the file.
5. If you clicked Driver Injection in step 3, click Add Driver. If you clicked Load driver
in step 3, click Open.
The selected drivers are injected and will be loaded to the operating system after
you reboot the target server.
6. Repeat Step 3 through Step 5, as appropriate, until all drivers have been injected.
Verifying a Bare Metal Restore
Once you perform a bare metal restore, you can verify the progress of the restore.
When the action is completed successfully, you can start the restored server. Some
troubleshooting steps are included if you encounter difficulties connecting to the
Universal Recovery Console to complete the restore, and to repair startup problems
with the restored machine.
You can perform the following tasks:
“Viewing the Recovery Progress” on page 169
“Starting a Restored Target Server” on page 169
“Troubleshooting Connections to the Universal Recovery Console” on page 170
“Repairing Startup Problems” on page 170
This process is a step in “Roadmap for Performing a Bare Metal Restore for a Windows
Machine” on page 157.
Your target server automatically contains some generic Windows 7 PE 32-bit drivers which will
work for some systems.
