Dear Experts,

I'm referring to [https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/116865-add-drivers-to-mdt-all-versions-total-control-method trying to totally control our drivers for OSD. However after I updated the DS, add boot image into WDS, boot the computer and it always gives me again - missing iastora.sys 0xc0000098.

I've been googling around for few days but to no avail. Someone said we need to get the proper .sys file with .inf from the vendor website but what I can download from DELL and HP are all exe files.

Any idea would be really appreciated.

    Hi,

    This may be caused by not finding the right driver. Below is the HP and Dell WinPE 10 Driver download links:

    https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER07703466M/1/WinPE10.0-Drivers-A25-F0XPX.CAB

    https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-sg/000108642/winpe-10-driver-pack

    https://ftp.ext.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/softpaq/WinPE10.html

    For the driver A25 version and A29 version of the Dell machine download one, some users have reported that the A29 driver is not suitable for some machines, replace the A25 problem to solve.

    Hope this will help you!
