1. Add Driver To Hiren's Boot Cd Windows 7

In this article, we will show you how to add the necessary device drivers directly into the Windows installation image. The integration of the device drivers into your offline Windows image is widely used when you need to deploy a large number of workstations and servers on the same hardware. Instead of manually installing specific drivers (including AHCI/ RAID/ NVMe) on each device, you can significantly simplify and accelerate OS deployment process by integrating the drivers directly into the Driver Store of the Windows installation image in the ISO/WIM or the VHD/VHDX file.

When installing such an image, the Plug and Play service (PnP) will automatically install the necessary drivers for the detected hardware. This manual is about the integration of device drivers into a Windows image and can be used both on desktop editions of Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and on Windows Server 2016, 2012 R2.In modern Windows editions you can add drivers to the installation ISO image in two ways:. using the DISM utility;.

using the PowerShell CLI.In fact, both techniques perform the same operation: add additional drivers into the offline Windows image. How to use it is a matter of personal administrator preference. Let us consider in more detail both ways on the example of integrating drivers into the Windows 10 installation image. If your Windows 10 ISO image contains only the file.sourcesinstall.esd, you can to WIM format using the DISM tool: dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:'C:WinWorkISOinstall.esd' /SourceIndex:4 /DestinationImageFile:C:WinWorkISOinstall.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity. The Mount folder – an empty directory into which the Windows install WIM image will be mounted later.List all Windows editions contained in the Install.wim file using the Get-WindowsImage PowerShell cmdlet.

This is necessary in order to specify the Widows edition into which it is planned to integrate the additional drivers.Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath C:WinWorkISOinstall.wimIn our example, the WIM file contains only one Windows 10 Pro edition with the index 1 ( ImageIndex: 1).Next you need to mount the image of the selected Windows edition in the directory Mount. The Windows image index, which you need to mount, must be specified as an argument of the Index parameter:Mount-WindowsImage -Path C:WinWorkMount -ImagePath C:WinWorkISOinstall.wim -Index 1.

In the above example, we added drivers to the Install.wim image file. This is the Windows image that will be deployed to a computer local disk. If you need to add drivers to a Windows boot image (from which the computer boots when you install Windows), you need to add drivers to the Boot.wim file. This is usually necessary when installing Windows, the computer doesn’t detect local hard drives or doesn’t connect to LAN.

Usually, only drivers of disk controllers and network adapters need to be integrated into the boot.wim image. There is no Add-WindowsDriver cmdlet in Windows 7 / 2008R2.

It appeared only in Windows 8/ Windows Server 2012 and later, therefore to integrate drivers into an image of Win7/2008 R2, use the DISM tool (see the example below or in the article ). Adding Drivers to an Offline Windows Server 2012 R2 Image Using DISMNow we will show an example of integrating drivers into the install image of Windows Server 2012 R2. If you are building an image on Windows 8.1, you will need to download and install Windows 8 ADK (to continue working with the latest version of DISM. You need to install the Deployment Tools component. Use the same directory structure: Drivers (drivers and.inf files are stored), ISO (unpacked image of Windows Server 2012 R2), Mount (image mount directory). It is assumed that in the install.wim file we are interested in the Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition with index 3.Mount the install.wim installation image:dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:c:isosourcesinstall.wim /Index:3 /MountDir:c:mountRun a recursive search and integration of the new drivers into the driver store of the Windows Server 2012 R2 image:dism /image:c:mount /Add-Driver '/driver:c:drivers' /recurseSave the changes to the WIM image:dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:d:mount /commit.

You may also have to integrate drivers for network adapters and disk controllers into the boot image file boot.wim.If you need to add drivers to all Windows Server editions contained in the wim file, these operations must be performed for all indexes of OS versions that the command returned:dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:d:install.wimIn addition to driver integration, it is usually necessary to inject security updates to the Windows image to be installed. This will increase the security of your OS immediately after the installation. It remains to write the resulting installation image to the DVD disk or USB flash drive or convert it to the ISO image.

After Moving the Hard Drive or the Motherboard ChangeThere are 2 different Boot CD’s that can do this for you, (v10.2 and newer) and (UBCD4Win). The Hiren method is easier because it doesn’t require any software to be installed on your system or a Windows XP install CD. Here are the instructions for both, you obviously need access to a working system for this to work. Using Hiren’s Boot CD1. And if you don’t have it already. Boot up the computer with Hiren. You need to go into the BIOS to change the boot sequence if your computer can’t boot up the computer with a CD, or press a hotkey such as F11 to reach the boot device selection dialog.3.

Select the second option down, “Mini Windows XP” from the menu and load Mini XP.4. Once loaded, click on the Hiren menu icon in the system tray and go to Registry - “Fix hard disk controller (fixhdc.cmd)”.5. Press the T key, then enter and type in the TargetRoot folder. The default would be C:Windows but might be different on multiboot systems, in which case you would need to check in Windows Explorer what the correct drive letter is.6. Hit the M key on your keyboard to select Update MassStorage drivers and press enter.7. When it’s finished, press any key to continue and restart the computer.

Using UBCD4Win1. And install.2. Launch UBCD4Win from the Desktop or Start Menu.3. Insert an original Windows XP CD into the CD/DVD drive and select the source. To confirm that the source is correct, click on Source from the menu bar and select Check.4.

If your computer can burn CD’s, select Burn to CD/DVD and click the Build button. If it can’t, select Create ISO image and once it has completed creating the ISO image, copy it to a computer that can burn CD’s and burn it.5. Boot up the computer with UBCD4Win.

You need to go BIOS to change the boot sequence if your computer can’t boot up the computer with a CD.6. Select Launch “The Ultimate Boot CD for Windows” from the UBCD4Win menu and wait for it to load. You can select No when asked to start network support.7. Click Start - Programs - Registry Tools - Fixhdc - Fix hard disk controller.8. Hit the M key on your keyboard to select Update MassStorage drivers.9.

When it’s finished, press any key to continue and restart the computer.Good luck and hopefully that you are now able to move Windows XP hard drive to another computer with either of the methods above.These days there is another way to achieve a similar result which is through backup software such Acronis TrueImage. These programs are able to restore backups to dissimilar hardware meaning you can move an image from one computer to a system with a completely different set of hardware. The hard drive controller is automatically switched to the Microsoft default driver during the transfer, so the computer should boot straight up without the need for a. My M-925 MB failed completely. I am now using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. And my old XP HD will not boot, after I disable the SATA drive and enable the IDE HD with XP.

Add Driver To Hiren's Boot Cd Windows 7

I have a duel HD on my computer. I can boot from either the first HD with Ubuntu or the other with XP. I was not able to make the changes before the old MB failure. Now, can I use Hiren’s Boot Disk, and use the Mini XP and then go into my XP HD and then make changes to allow it to boot on my new MB? It is the only “back door” method that might work.

But I would need some advice before I attempt it. I been doing absolutely every trick in the world, for weeks, to get my XP, Vista, W7 and W8 onto a new (different) computer, w/o joy. Then this worked a charm. Worked on XP, Vista, and W7 and go me into each. All it took was to use Paragon 12 (any PM will probably do) to COPY each of these partitions to a new HD and put into the new platform. W8 required the install CD to repair, and once in W8, used EasyBCD to get it multibooting. Then used the Hiren method above to fix the HD drivers and PRESTO!

I just have done opposite, based on your article. Your article is talking about moving from Intel into AMD platform.I have to do opposite. I didn’t care that much so I have done some shortcuts!:DRenamed AMD drivers instead of Intel!Removed IDE drivers without installing basic ones. AMD was not in Registry. So done nothing.Moved HDD to Intel mobo – all sweet – just XP asked me to activate again in 3 days done with success as well.Didn’t use Hiren disk at all!Just removed hdd drivers and renamed AMD drivers in c:Windows/system32/driversThat’s all folks! Many thanks for all info.

That helped me enormously.Kind regards. @ pd: I think the issue is the driver XP needs to boot from SATA probably isn’t one of those WHQL drivers which are plug-and-play. It will need this one:NVIDIA C51 SATA RAID Driver (Preinstall driver, press F6 during Windows. setup to read from floppy)This would be the same driver you install from floppy using F6 while installing XP and is a textmode driver, not plug-and-play. Textmode drivers have to be either installed manually or on install with F6. This driver uses nvraid.sys and not nvgts.sys as the driver file.

I’ve had a Windows XP SP3 installation running on a Athlon 64 3000+ era system for a long time. With Seagate SSHD drives dropping to $99 for 500GB, I thought I’d move that install from a mechanical drive to the SSHD. Despite the install being less than pristine in state, using this method of switching the hard drive controller’s driver, then Parted Magic’s clone tool, I successfully migrated the install! Thanks for this help. It is astonishing, and also a credit to you, that this simple technique is only available on your blog.However, can you top this by suggesting why, after getting the install to boot fine, I can’t then go and update the HDC drivers back to the appropriate nVidia nForce 430 drivers as supplied by the motherboard’s website, without a repeat of the STOP 7B BSOD?

I was under the (perhaps misguided) impression that the HDC only needed to be downgraded to the old generic Windows driver in order to get the system running again. Then the proper drivers could be re-installed. Would absolutely love your advice on this topic. I’m now seemingly stuck running a SATA3 SSHD in UDMA6 (133 MB/s) mode. I know my old motherboard can’t run the SSHD in it’s optimal SATA3 (600 MB/s) mode but I have it plugged into a SATA2 port so I’d hope SATA2 speeds of 300MB/s would be (theoretically) attainable. The problem with trying to install drivers AFTER having XP in IDE mode is when you install the motherboard/chipset drivers while in IDE mode, the setup doesn’t see the SATA/RAID controller and so doesn’t install drivers for SATA. In other words, you’re still getting a BSOD because XP still doesn’t have any SATA drivers on there!What you have to do is insert the SATA driver manually so Windows will see it on boot, it’s not exactly easy, but not too difficult either.

Have a look at the following nVidia community page for a guide on what to do.forums.geforce.com/default/topic/419127/switching-to-ahci-nvidia-nforce-drivers/. Unfortunately I don’t have an AHCI capable motherboard.

I think that’s a big part of the problem.It seems the key to this solution is to throw the drivers in at boot. The problem is you cannot install the SATA drivers using the nVidia installer because you need to have SATA enabled in the BIOS first to do it or no drivers will be installed.

But you can’t enable SATA in the BIOS because it will BSOD on boot.I had this problem a while back with Intel SATA drivers and the only way it worked was to manually insert the drivers. It’s a pain but there appears to be no other way apart from possibly doing a repair install and supplying a floppy at the F6 stage, although I’ve never tried that.The issue isn’t your hybrid drive or lack of AHCI, but simply the driver needs installing by you because Windows XP can’t do it. Thanks for the ongoing discussion. I’m not trying to ask for specific help here so if you don’t want to supply that, I understand. I’m just fascinated by this issue. Just to get this really straight in my head 1) My existing XP install is running on a single-partitioned standard SATA HDD.

The Device Manager (View Devices by connection) displays this tree (I’ve removed the less relevant entries)ACPI Uniprocessor PC +– Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System +– PCI Bus +– NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller +– ST3300062 2AS SCSI Disk Device +– Generic volumeHere’s the board: gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=1939#spI don’t have any single other ATA/IDE device installed, not even an optical drive.2) I have run the driver installer downloaded from the GigaByte page above. AFAIK it’s largely just a re-bundled nVidia driver distribution. Thank you so much for posting this. I never knew about the UBCD4Win and the incredible “Fix-HDC” which performs the “MergeIDE.reg” automated!! I had an untimely and sudden death of a VIA chipset motherboard and had to switch WinXP over to a nVidia nForce2 motherboard, which obviously has a completely different IDE controller etc. Resulting in the infamous STOP 0x7B BSOD.UBCD4Win (while not as simple as downloading an ISO and burning it) took about an hour to build & burn (by default it builds a 700MB ISO that won’t fit on a standard 650MB CD-R???).But in the end it did the trick and it’s thanks to this blog for pointing me towards the solution!!
