Hello.

I've been using Acronis Snap Deploy 3 for some time now and I am very happy with it. Now I am going to take it one step further and start using Acronis Universal Deploy as well. With regards to this I got some questions about Acronis Universal Deploy.

I do understand the base principles of how it works, but I am confused by what drivers that are actually needed. The manual says HAL drivers. What are they excatly? Is it the chipset drivers? We are primarily using Fujitsu Siemens computers and the Chipset drivers that they provide is not in the .inf or .sys form that I've seen suggested on this forum. They are in fact .exe files. Is it also neccesary to supply the storage drivers, such as SATA drivers?

The Fujitsu Siemens Celsius M460 (with Windows Vista 64bit) is a model we are using quite a lot of. Would it be possible for you to tell me which drivers I would have to download from their support site http://ts.fujitsu.com/support/downloads.html ? If so, select Workstations, Celsius, Celsius M Series and M460 on that page to get to the correct drivers.

Kind Regards,
Nils Rune

Hello Nils!

Thank you for finding time to open the thread regarding this question and for your kind comments, I really appreciate it.

In order to boot the machine you need to add mass storage device drivers which are: chipset, RAID controller, SCSI controller, etc. In case you are moving from IDE to SATA drive you will need to add SATA drivers as well.

*.exe is actually a package of *.inf and *.oem drivers. In order to extract them you need to contact Fujitsu support. They'll also help you to find correct drivers, suitable for your particular model.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you!

I've been in contact with Fujitsu Siemens support and I thought I'd share their answer with you.

After downloading the driver *.exe file, rename it to *.zip or *.rar and then extract. You'll then find the *.inf and *.oem in the extracted folder.

Hi again.

It's quite difficult to use Acronis Universal Deploy, because most driver files aren't extractable even when renaming to zip/rar. Both Fujitsu Siemens and Dell say that they only support the drivers in the way they are presented at their website.

Is there any way to work around this?
