| Zusammenfassung: | A system and method for automatically installing system-specific drivers in a pre-operating system environment include the utilization of a driver locator. The driver locator is stored within nonvolatile memory and allows the target system to access the driver locator in a pre-operating system environment. The driver locator includes system-specific identification information and directs the system to an operating system installation resource in a pre-operating system environment. The operating system installation resource is further operable to identify at least one driver needed for the target system based on information incorporated with the driver locator. |
