Getting the file pdaguien.ini from the Rescue and Recovery environment

1. Create getlist.txt file with the following parameters:

\preboot\usrintfc\pdaguien.ini

2. Save the file as c:\temp\getlist.txt.
3. At a command prompt, type the following command:

c:\RRUTIL-g c:\temp\getlist.txt c:\temp

Putting the file pdaguien.ini back into the Rescue and Recovery environment

From a command line, issue the following command:

C:\RRUTIL.EXE -p c:\temp

Note: The PUT (-p) routine uses the directory structure created in the GET (-g) routine. For proper placement
of the edited file, ensure that the edited file is located in the same directory as the getlist.txt file, as follows:

c:\temp\preboot\usrintfc\pdaguien.ini

Example 1: Adding device drivers (such as ethernet) to the Predesktop Area

The following example provides instruction on adding device drivers to the Predesktop Area

1. Obtain device drivers from the vendor’s Web site or other media.
2. Create the following directory structures:

C:\TEMP\MININT\INF
C:\TEMP\MININT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS

3. Copy all network driver *.inf files to the \MININT\INF directory. (For example, E100B325.inf needs

to be in the \MININT\INF directory.)

4. Copy all *.sys files to the \MININT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory. (For example, E100B325.sys needs

to be in \MININT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory.)

5. Copy any related *.dll, *.exe, or other files to the \MININT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory. (For example,

the E100B325.din or INTELNIC.dll files must be in the \MININT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory.)

Notes:
a. Catalog files are unnecessary, as they are not processed by the Rescue and Recovery environment.

The preceding instructions apply to any device driver that might be required to configure the
computer.

b. With the limitation of Windows PE, you might have to manually apply some configuration applications

or settings as registry updates.

6. To put the device drivers into the Rescue and Recovery environment, enter the following from a

command line:

C:\ RRUTIL.EXE -p C:\temp
