About adding drivers during the integrated bare metal recovery

The Integrated BMR Wizard uses WinPE 4.0 for the recovery. WinPE 4.0 is based on Windows 8, and if it cannot detect a network adapter or storage disks, you must load Windows 8 drivers into WinPE for the restore.

Note:  WinPE 4.0 is used only for the restore. After the wizard restores the critical volumes from the failed client, you might need to inject additional drivers into the restored operating system before you can reboot the restored client.

After the critical volumes have been restored, you must inject drivers into the restored operating system if you are restoring to dissimilar hardware or to a virtual machine. If you restore to a physical machine, drivers vary depending upon the hardware and operating system. It is recommended that you verify whether the operating system requires additional drivers to run on the hardware to which you will restore before beginning the recovery. If you restore to a virtual machine, you must inject ESX or Hyper-V guest storage drivers, depending upon your virtual environment. These drivers are included in the integrated BMR ISO image.
