HP Driver Pack Overview An HP Driver Pack contains the hardware-enabling drivers necessary for each PC model. It is structured for the unattended installation of operating system images on HP client systems. After downloading an HP Driver Pack, you can double-click it to extract its contents into a similar folder structure to the one shown in the following diagram: Figure 1 – HP Driver Pack folder structure The HP Driver Pack above contains the necessary drivers for the HP 8200 desktop family.

1. Double-click the WinPE Driver Pack to extract its contents into the folder structure shown in the following diagram: Figure 2 – Extracted WinPE SoftPaq folder structure 2. In the Configuration Manager Console tree pane, expand Site Database -> Computer Management -> Operating System Deployment. 3. Right-click Drivers, and select Import. 4. On the “Locate Driver” screen of the wizard, select the location of the extracted WinPE SoftPaq (e.g. \\sccmserver\WinPE\x86).

6. On the “Add Driver to Boot Images” screen of the wizard, select the boot image of the WinPE architecture you want to use (e.g. x86), and click to select the check box Update distribution points when finished. Figure 4 – Boot image selection 7. Click Finish. 8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 to add the x64 WinPE drivers to the x64 boot image. Your boot images now contain all of the network and mass storage drivers for the supported HP business-class products.

8. In the “New Driver Package” dialog box, enter a descriptive name for the driver package (e.g. “HP_6005_mass_storage”), and specify the location of the shared folder containing the Mass Storage driver. Click OK to close the dialog box. 9. The “Add Driver to Packages” screen now displays the newly created Driver Package, and its checkbox is checked automatically. Figure 7 – The newly created Mass Storage driver package 10. Click Next. 11. Select the boot image you want to use.

8. In the “Task Sequence Editor” dialog box, click OK to save changes. Note: If you want to install multiple mass storage drivers available on your system, you need to create additional “Apply Driver Package” task sequence steps for each mass storage device. Searching for the Mass Storage Driver Model If you have a machine pre-built with Windows, run msinfo32.exe, and then go to Components -> Storage -> IDE. Locate the “Name” entry in the “Item” column.
