A Telarc Quality Management System auditor visited Compucon on 2017-01-20 with the goal of obtaining evidence for re-validating the ISO 9001:2008 certificate that Compucon has been holding for many years. The audit confirmed that all aspects have been complied with and the certification is thus re-validated. The auditor took the opportunity of finding if Compucon was ready for ISO 9001:2015 which is intended to replace ISO 9001:2008 in September 2018. The answer is affirmative although Compucon shall produce an internal documentation to support the new certification standard.

This article is for advanced users of Windows PE. It allows us to add driver support to WinPE.

Prepare the drivers on a UFD (USB Flash Drive)

1. Download the driver files. For example if you are adding drivers for an Adaptec 8805 controller, go to https://storage.microsemi.com/de-de/support/raid/sas_raid/asr-8805/ and download the correct driver for your OS, such as 'Microsoft Windows Server 2012 x64'.
2. Extract the driver files onto your UFD.
3. Plug in your UFD into the target system with WinPE running.
4. At the command prompt within WinPE, find out what drive letter has been assigned to your UFD by using 'diskpart' then 'list vol'. Exit out of diskpart once you've identified the correct drive letter.
5. Now type 'drvload.exe C:\arcsas.inf' where C is the drive letter for the UFD, and arcsas.inf is the main driver file. (arcsas.inf is for Adaptec drivers or iastorE.inf is for Intel Rapid Storage drivers)
   • Note: do not reboot WinPE even if the command prompt asks you to reboot for the driver to take effect.
6. The driver should now be loaded and you should be able to install an OS onto RAID controller attached disks.
