Acronis Universal Deploy will help you create a bootable Windows clone on different hardware by

automatically installing the necessary system drivers. Use Acronis Universal Deploy when deploying

Windows to a computer with a dissimilar processor, different motherboard or other mass storage

device than in the imaged system. For detailed information see

Acronis Universal Deploy uses three sources for drivers:

the Windows default driver storage folder (in the image being deployed)

the mass storage device driver specified by the user

the driver repository - a folder or folders on a network share or removable media.

The program will find the most suitable drivers of all available drivers and install them into the

deployed system. However, the driver defined by the user, will have the priority. It will be installed,

with appropriate warnings, even if the program finds a better driver.

2. [OPTIONAL] Specify the mass-storage driver

If the target hardware has a specific mass storage controller (such as a SCSI, RAID, or Fibre Channel

adapter) for the hard disk, explicitly specify the appropriate driver for this controller. The driver will be

installed in any case, bypassing the automatic driver search-and-install procedure.

Use this option only if the automatic search-and-install procedure was unsuccessful.

When deploying the system to a virtual machine that uses SCSI hard drive controller, be sure

to specify SCSI drivers for virtual environment. For example, VMware requires Buslogic or LSI

logic drivers. Use drivers bundled with your virtualization software or download the latest

driver versions from the software manufacturer website.

3. [OPTIONAL] Specify the driver repository

Specify a driver storage to search for HAL and storage device drivers during the automatic search-and-

install procedure. You can add network locations and enable a search of removable media for drivers.
