An IT admin restores a 64-bit Windows Server image to a modern server with a different RAID controller. The server repeatedly blue-screens due to missing controller drivers. Booting the Universal Restore ISO, the admin supplies the controller’s WinPE driver from a USB, injects it into the restored volume, repairs the BCD, reboots — and the server comes up cleanly. What would have been hours of manual driver injections and registry surgery becomes a focused, repeatable recovery. | Hardware type | Where to find |
