Abstract:
An exemplary computerized method is disclosed, comprising booting a destination computer in a pre-boot mode after a disk image comprising a first operating system is downloaded to the destination computer, initiating an identification module in the pre-boot mode to identify a device of the destination computer, receiving a device identifier of the device of the destination computer, identifying, using the device identifier, a driver compatible with the device, and downloading the driver to the destination computer before the destination computer is booted into the first operating system of the disk image for the first time. The method may also comprise receiving a hardware-abstraction-layer identifier of a hardware-abstraction layer of the destination computer, identifying a hardware-abstraction-layer file compatible with the hardware-abstraction layer of the destination computer, and downloading the hardware-abstraction-layer file to the destination computer. Corresponding computer-readable mediums and systems for deploying a disk image are also disclosed.
