This project is to write an application that integrate mass storage drivers (Raid/Sata) in to the locally installed operating system from a PE disc or another operating system.

The critical part to understand is that the operating system that requires the mass storage driver cannot be running at the time as ofcourse it doesn't have its mass storage driver and will blue sceen on bootup.

I suspect it would work something lile this:
1) The user boots a PE disc or an operating system from another hard drive.
2) The user runs the application from the command line:
Massdrv.exe x:\driver_folder y:\
Where x:\driver_folder is a folder containing sub folders of mass storage drivers including INF,SYS and CAT files.
Where y:\ is the local partion requiring the driver.
So basicly "Massdrv.exe Source_Drivers Destination_Drive".
3) The application interigates the hardware ID mass storage device.
4) The application searches the specified driver folder and sub folders looking through INF files to find the matching hardware ID.
5) Once found the driver is correctly installed on the specified drive and the critical database is updated within the drives local registry.

If a matching driver is not found then the application should display an error stating the hardware ID.
