Abstract
A computing device configured for installing an operating system is described. The computing device includes a storage device, a processor and instructions stored in memory. The computing device begins writing an operating system image to a storage device. One or more current storage device driver files are downloaded. The computing device injects one or more current storage device drivers obtained from the one or more current storage device driver files without first booting an operating system obtained from the operating system image.
