A New Solution from Paragon
Successful migration of a Win2K system to a different hardware platform involves several
actions:
-
Change of the Windows kernel settings according to the new configuration. We
detect the given hardware profile and automatically install the appropriate Windows HAL and
kernel.
-
Installation of drivers for boot critical devices. We detect those
without drivers and automatically try to install lacking drivers from the built-in Windows
repository. If there’s no driver in the repository, we prompt the user to set a path
to an additional driver repository, strongly recommending not to proceed until all drivers for the
found boot critical devices are installed. In case drivers for these devices are installed, but
disabled, they will be enabled.
-
Installation of drivers for a PS/2 mouse and keyboard. This action will only be
accomplished for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003.
-
Installation of drivers for network cards. We detect those without drivers and
automatically try to install lacking drivers from the built-in Windows repository. If there’s no
driver in the repository, we prompt the user to set a path to an additional driver repository.
Why Paragon Adaptive Restore?
- Unlike competitors all our flagship products include this technology by default
- We analyze all installed drivers inside a target system to report on devices without
drivers
- We search for and install lacking drivers from the built-in Windows repository
- We notify you about boot critical devices without drivers (HDD/RAID controllers, etc.),
automatically prompting to provide a path to a driver repository
- We name all devices according to their model description, not some alphanumeric code, which
requires additional deciphering
- We determine and install drivers not only for boot critical devices, but for physically
connected NICs as well
