If a device such as a hard disk or network card is not automatically recognized when using the bootable medium under Windows PE, a necessary controller driver (e.g., RAID controllers) might be missing.

You can start loading a new driver immediately after inserting the Start CD using the dialog O&O System settings and the tab Drivers.

Please follow these instructions for loading a new driver:

  1. Open the tab Drivers in the dialog O&O System settings as described above. All recognized Windows devices as well as all devices missing installed drivers will be displayed.
  2. Select the device for which you want to load a driver.
  3. Click Load.
  4. Select the desired driver such as one on a connected hard disk, USB Stick or CD*.
  5. In the dialog, select Open to install the driver.
  6. You'll then see a program message informing you about the status of the installation.
*Note:
You can remove the Start CD from the drive in order to insert a driver CD from a manufacturer.
Note:
Under certain circumstances, you may receive a notice requiring you to restart if you have loaded an additional driver under Windows PE. This message is automatically generated by Windows PE but is irrelevant when starting from a CD. Simply reject the request and follow the further instructions in the pop-up window.
Note:
Encrypted drives are not supported under Windows PE
