You can add out-of-box drivers to a running Windows PE environment by using the Drvload tool. Drvload uses one or more driver .inf files as inputs. To add a driver to an offline Windows PE image, use the PEimg tool.
If the driver .inf file requires a reboot, Windows PE will ignore the request. If the driver .sys file requires a reboot, then the driver cannot be added with Drvload.

-
At a command prompt, type
drvload.exe inf_path
where inf_path is the path to a device driver. You can specify multiple paths by separating each inf_path entry with a comma.
