Adding drivers from Repair Disk?

[Basil]

I need to inject some USB3 drivers for a PCIe internal USB3 card, so I can restore Win 7 64 bit from an external USB3 hard drive. The reason I need the card drivers is the motherboard suffered a pin damage to the dual USB3 port header and I installed a PCIe card to save buying a new motherboard. The drivers on the card CD are not in the form where they seem to have a .inf file, so I used Control Panel to look at the currently installed card drivers, please see attached screen shot. How do I "inject" these and another two fairly similarly named files during the run of the repair disk where it asks if you want to add drivers please? Thanks!

What restore program is asking for these drivers, windows ?

Don`t you have any working 2.0 usb ports ?

Windows and also a repair disk that sees my LTO tape drive. Yes, I guess I could try USB2 ports, but I thought the speed increase from using USB3 enough to warrant attempting to inject USB3 drivers. Many thanks for the reply.

I would worry about getting an accurate image done verses speed, you won`t your image perfect

Tape drive ? Your 1st post says external hard drive.

I have backups to tape and to a HDD, just for redundancy, I am a bit paranoid after VERY nearly losing a lot of irreplaceable digital phots. There was a lot to be said for film cameras where you had paper images and were not so tempted to take thousands of photos, many of dubious quality or relevance, due to the cost of development and printing
