This article describes the steps required to add original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-supplied drivers to Microsoft Windows installations. This article includes only those drivers that are typically installed during graphical user interface (GUI)-mode Setup or post-Setup by standard Plug and Play enumeration. This permits you to pre-load OEM Plug and Play drivers that you can use later, when the associated hardware is introduced in the system.
This article describes how to add OEM Plug and Play drivers in the following situations:
|•||Remote Installation Service (RIS) installations|
|•||Existing Windows installations|
