Adding a Storage or Network Driver

In the Add Storage and Network Driver dialog box, on the Veritas System Recovery Disk Creation Wizard, click Browse and select the .inf file of the driver, which is to be added to theVeritas System Recovery Disk.

You need to provide a suitable driver that is compatible with the version of WinPE that you use to create a Veritas System Recovery Disk. Drivers that are not compatible with the version of WinPE used to create this recovery disk, do not load when you boot into recovery environment using the Veritas System Recovery Disk.

If you create a Veritas System Recovery Disk using the Typical option, the version of WinPE is the same as the version of the local operating system. If you create a Veritas System Recovery Disk using Windows ADK for Windows 8.0, 8.1 Update, Windows 10, or Windows ADK 10 version 1809; you need to provide a Windows 8/2012, Windows 8.1/2012 R2, or Windows 10/2016/2019 compatible driver.

If you are customizing an existing Veritas System Recovery Disk, the version of WinPE is mentioned in the SymInfo.xml file at the root of the Veritas System Recovery Disk media. All the drivers that are added using this wizard are available when you boot into the recovery disk and are used for HIR (Restore Anyware). Even if you add a driver that is not compatible with the WinPE version of a recovery disk, it is added to the Veritas System Recovery Disk. This incompatible driver is only used when you boot into the recovery environment.
