Zusammenfassung:A system for generating and loading software onto hard disk drives, particularly replacement hard disk drives without having to create a separate master disk for each unique software configuration, includes a storage assembly for storing at least one of a predefined drive image and a software component. An image builder is coupled to the storage assembly within the network for building a drive image for the hard disk drive using at least one of the predefined drive image and the software component. The created drive image is then stored to the storage assembly and downloaded to the hard disk drive via the network.
