SUMMARY
This article describes how to add non-native network drivers to Winternals Recovery Manager Boot Client in Microsoft Windows XP.



MORE INFORMATION
 Locate the Windows XP network drivers for the network adapter. The network drivers are typically located on the driver disk that was included with the network adapter. Or, the network drivers are available for download from the support site of the adapter manufacturer. Extract the Windows XP network drivers to a temp location if the drivers are bundled in a compressed file format. Open the third-party network controller setup information (.inf) file from the network driver installation media. Examine the [SourceDisksFiles] section of the .inf file to determine the source files that must be copied. For example, the [SourceDisksFiles] section of the .inf file may contain the following entries:

[SourceDisksFiles] Net8254x.din = 1,WINDOWS\DRIVERS\IA32 E1000nt5.sys = 1,WINDOWS\DRIVERS\IA32 Intelnic.dll = 1,WINDOWS\DRIVERS\IA32 Prounstl.exe = 1,WINDOWS\DRIVERS\IA32

 Examine the [DestinationDirs] section of the .inf file to determine the destination location for the files. For example, the [DestinationDirs] section of the .inf file may contain the following entries:

[DestinationDirs] winxp.CopyFiles = 12 UninstallProg.CopyFiles = 11

Note The numbers in the entries are equivalent to the following locations:  &quot;12&quot; is the Drivers directory. This is equivalent to I386\system32\drivers on the Recovery Manager Boot Client</li> &quot;10&quot; is the Windows directory. This is equivalent to I386 on the Recovery Manager Boot Client.</li> &quot;11&quot; is the System directory. This is equivalent to I386\system32 on the Recovery Manager Boot Client</li></ul> </li> Start the Recovery Manager Boot Client Wizard</li> Follow the prompts through the wizard until you reach the Additional Drivers page. This step is only for the inclusion of third-party drivers for SCSI/RAID adapters. It is not for including drivers for the network adapter. If you have no SCSI/RAID drivers to include, click Next.</li> On the Additional Files page, click Explore. This opens a new window.</li> Copy the files that were listed in the [SourceDisksFiles] section in step 4 to the locations that were listed in the [DestinationDirs] section in step 5 in the Recovery Manager Boot Client temporary file location. For example, copy the following files to the appropriate directory: <ul> E1000nt5.sys to the I386\System32\Drivers directory</li> Net8254x.din to the I386\System32 directory</li> Intelnic.dll to the I386\System32 directory</li> Prounstl.exe to the I386\System32 directory</li></ul> </li> Copy the .inf file to the I386\INF folder in the Recovery Manager Boot Client temp file location. For example, copy the Neti557x.inf to the I386\INF folder:</li> After you have added the necessary files, close the Explore window, and then return to the Additional Drivers page.</li> Click Next, and then follow the remaining prompts to create a CD that contains startup files.</li></ol>
