HwComponent Section of a TxtSetup.oem File

A HwComponent section lists the drivers available for a particular component. There is a HwComponent section for each type of component supported by the file.

[HwComponent]
ID = description
...

HwComponent
The name of the section must be one of the following system-defined values: computer or scsi.

ID
Specifies a string, unique within this section, that identifies the option.

For each entry in this section, there must be a corresponding Files.HwComponent.ID section in the file.

For the computer component, the last three characters of the string determine which kernel Windows copies. If this string ends in "_up", Windows copies the uniprocessor kernel. If this string ends in "_mp", Windows copies the multiprocessor kernel. If the string does not end in "_Xp", Windows copies one or the other kernel, but does not guarantee which one.

description
Specifies a string that Windows presents to the user in the menu of driver choices.

The following example shows a HwComponent section for a TxtSetup.oem file that supports one component (scsi) and offers two options:

; ...
[SCSI]                  ; HwComponent section
oemscsi = "OEM Fast SCSI Controller"
oemscsi2 = "OEM Fast SCSI Controller 2"
 
; ...
