Lse,

Driver files may or may not need to be added to boot recovery WinPE/RE media.  This all depends on the task at hand and the media type being created.  Some general rules about drivers

  • WinRE media creation will provide correct drivers for the same machine on which the media was created but may not for other machines with differing hardware.
  • WinPE media creation in most cases will need added drivers network interface cards (NIC) and in some cases storage controllers.  For storage, if new tech is involved such as Intel VMD or for certain raid controllers.

Other than that you should not need to add drivers in most cases.
