RM Windows 7 Drivers WANTED

[gtg93]

Hi All,

 

Has anyone got any Windows 7 32 bit drivers for the/that work with the RM Ascend 2020B they could share with me please?

 

I'm trying to image a couple with Windows 7 via WDS, but they're not booting to WDS without the drivers, and I can't seem to source and drivers for the machine.

if you have access to a machine which is already setup i did see a while ago that there is a cmdlet in powershell for extracting installed drivers

Export-WindowsDriver

Unfortunately don't have that model, but as hardware is changes in the same model number, might be easier if find the Hardware ID. The usual problem with not being able to action WDS on a new machine is due to a missing Network Driver.

 

If you go into the Windows OS that is currently installed, in device manager find the network card, go into properties and select the Details tab and the Hardware IDs property you can right click and copy the Hardware ID. Sometimes a quick search will find the driver for you on a manufactures website. Can always put the details here for us to help as well.

If you put the serial number of the machine in here you should be able to download the drivers for it: My Computer

Export-WindowsDriver

Unfortunately that cmdlet only works on Windows 8.1 or 10.

 

There are third-party programs that can export drivers however. e.g. DoubleDriver.

It's bluescreening, so I assume it's another driver... Not managed to have a proper look at it yet, so I was just trying to be lazy and cheat a little by using someone else drivers if they had them, but this is probably my next step when I get a spare few mins.

Thanks - couldn't find this page. Unfortunately, looks like RM only supported it to Vista, and there's only an Audio driver for vista. Looks like the Hardware ID and getting them from the hardware manufacturers website is going to be the way forward.

 

Cheers guys

wouldnt mind betting that the vista driver will function on 7

DWN1502534 (http://support.rm.com/GeneralDownload.asp?cref=DWN1502534&nav=0) gives the drivers for the Ascend 2020. They are XP drivers but you are only interested in the WinPE driver for PXE
