I mounted the isos with MagicISO and installed WAIK, then mounted the supplement iso, but when I run the xcopy command to copy over the supplement files. I'm on a new computer so I downloaded both WAIK and the supplement isos. I have been trying to get on WinPE 3.1 in case that's the solution to this problem, but I'm also running into a weird problem there.
#DELL MASS STORAGE CONTROLLER DRIVER WINDOWS 7 64 BIT DRIVERS#
It claims to have added the drivers successfully.but how do I verify this? Is there a WinPE equivalent to Device Manager? I tried going into diskpart and doing a "detail disk" on drive 0 but none of the information seems to pertain to what driver it's using.Īs a side bar. (supposed to be in system32, but I couldn't find it anywhere) It later occurred to me that all that documention might have referred to older versions of WinPE so I used DISM to add the drivers to the boot.wim file. I could not find this file for the life of me. All the documentation I saw about adding mass storage drivers to WinPE talked about adding entries to a winpeoem.sif file in WinPE. So I downloaded the RapidStore drivers from Dell. Dell's documentation of AFHDD also refers to making sure you have the most current MSD drivers I thought that WinPE didn't have the right mass storage driver. The "Advanced format" drives are 4096 bytes/sectors, right? the PE *somehow* not getting the "right" sector size from the disk (or from the disk controller)?
