How can I add the usb3 drivers to a Windows 7 repair disk?
I have
Windows 7 install.ISO
& Repair disk.ISO
& external USB hard drive containing a System Image (backup was done using USB 3 drive)
& Intel USB3 driver.exe
& PowerISO utiity program

Initially my question is
when booting with Repair Disk
if I want to use a USB3 drive to read my System Image
I am asked for a Driver Disk
What is expected in the driver disk?
The USB driver download as an .exe
which I have unzipped
What do I copy onto (e.g) a Driver DVD
so that it will be acceptable to the Load Driver request

Then I will move on to ask if there is a method of "adding" the USB3 drivers
to the W7 Repair Disk
NB I have PowerISO which includes a DISM option (whatever that is)

I can get by using my PCs USB2 drives
but the USB3 drives will presumably perform much faster

There are several Youtube vids but while appreciating the effort
I find them unclear
A written procedure would be better

Poweriso:

1.Copy boot.wim from the iso sources folder to your hard drive

2. Create a folder C:\MOUNT

3. Use the dism feature to mount boot.wim ( image 1 ) if it is from the repair.iso, or image 2 if it is from install.iso into C:\MOUNT folder

4. Use dism feature to add drivers to mounted boot.wim

5. Commit the image and Save it.

6. Replace boot.wim in the sources folder with the updated one on your hard drive.

Isn't there an Intel USB 3.0 utility if I'm not mistaken? It's been a long time since I last installed 7 to a computer with only USB 3.0 ports, so my memory is fazy.

Thanks very much - mission accomplished
I have LAPTOP & DESKTOP both with W7Pro/64
& different USB3 drivers
Looking through my archives, I see I bought MagicISO, then WinISO
& now I have bought a license for PowerISO which I think is good value considering its several goodies
I originally generated 1 disk for each PC but then reconsidered & redid, adding both sets of USB3 drivers
I now have a Repair disc that works on both machines
(I didn't know what DISM was until I looked it up)
