     Or

6. Click Next.
   The Select Driver Libraries screen opens, displaying the driver libraries contained in the selected *.cab file(s). Sort the driver libraries table by clicking any column header.

14. When the process has completed, click Close.
    The WinPE boot image is updated to include the selected Dell drivers.
