# Inject Drivers into the boot.wim File

### Overview

The default boot.wim file used to boot the computer into WinPE during the imaging process contains built-in drivers. \
\
However, there may be instances where the boot.wim file does not contain network or storage drivers for specific computer models.  \
\
If you encounter problems and see a failure during the imaging process at the **Contacting Imaging Server** (Installation) Stage or **Preparing Disk** (Installation) stage. In this scenario, you will need to inject the WinPE drivers for your computer model into the boot.wim file. \
\
This could be done manually using the DISM commands. However, the Deploy Imaging Server (DIS) allows you to quickly inject these WinPE drivers into your **boot.wim** file. <br>
