Yes.

You would need to install it into boot.wim image 2.

If you post the driver here in a .zip file. I ,may be able to automate it for you.

1.Copy boot.wim and install.wim from the "sources" folder of the usb onto your hard drive.

2. Mount boot.wim image 2 into an empty folder ( you can just create a folder on your C drive and call it "mount" ).

3. Add the drivers.

4. Save the image ( Direct Save)

5. Unmount the image.

6. Mount the relevant image from install.wim.

7. Add the drivers.

8. Save the image ( Direct Save).

9. Unmount the image.

10. Then copy boot.wim and install.wim back into the sources folder of the usb.

You can use this to mount, add drivers/updates, Save and unmount:

Then turn off Norton. If you can be bothered, you can tell Norton it is an FP.

Otherwise, use a different A/V. Microsoft Security Essentials is fine.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. You can report FP here Norton.com/fp we'll analyze the file and make changes to the whitelist definition if necessary. Please let us know if you need more help.

Thanks!
