Trouble loading Drivers for Dell Optiplex 7050

[Migration User]

I am trying to create an image with Ghost.  I have created a boot disk with winPe 10 and added the drivers for windows PE provided by Dell in Boot Disk Creator.  When I boot into PE, the network drivers do not load.  Also as a second option if I try to capture the image locally, the C drive does not show up.  I am guessing this is a driver issue too.  Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

ataritron,

It sounds like you are missing a storage driver within the winpe environment. The below articles will help with locating and matching the correct driver to your specific hardware. The problem with uploading dells recommended drivers is they may not match the pci-ven string on the hardware, leading to winpe not using the driver once booted.

Can you give me some more advice on loading Storage drivers?   How do I find out which one I need? This link you posted outlines the network driver really well, but not the storage driver.

also I followed the instuctions exactly for the network drivers and it still did not work.  Any ideas?

Ataritron,

 

Below is a screenshot showing where to find the storage drivers, this is also in the msinfo32 utility as shown in the recently attached article. Remember that if you are using winpe10 you will need windows 10 drivers for storage and nics.
