- How can I install an INF driver to WinPE 3.0 when it is mounted with DISM?
- Once WinPE 3.0 is running, how can I install drivers, using their INF, to an offline system?
The offline system can be Windows 7, Vista OR XP.

Add and Remove Drivers Offline
Driver Servicing Command-Line Options
Assuming you have your driver files extracted to a local folder on the same system you have your WinPE image mounted with dism:
dism /image:<image path> /add-driver /driver:<driver path>Technically, you don't have to inject drivers to an existing Windows 7 installation while offline. You can do it directly from the OS while it is running. You just need to change the
/imageargument of dism to/onlinelike so:
dism /online /add-driver /driver:<driver path>
I believe Dism is only valid for Win7, WinPE 3, and Server 2008 R2. I'm not sure what the equivalent utilities are for Vista and XP off hand.

this does not tell me where to put the files. Or how to use the INF. – unixman83 Apr 17 '11 at 02:02
