BRIEF INTRODUCTION
1. Installation
A device driver is installed using CD/DVD or any external bootable device with
complete file system to run the setup program.
4
2. Updating
Device drivers can be updated on a system using a variety of methods.
1. Downloaded the available updates from the manufacturer.
2. Installing updates to the operating system.
3. File Types
Device drivers can have a file type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) or Executable
(EXE) depending on the type program being used. Many software programs that
communicate with the device uses a DLL or EXE file format in order for the device to
function properly.
https://slideplayer.com/slide/1593683/
DLL – it is the file format used for holding multiple codes and procedures for
Windows programs. DLL files were created so that multiple programs could use their
information at the same time, aiding memory conservation. It also allows the user to edit
the coding of multiple applications at once, without changing the applications themselves.
https://whatis.techtarget.com/fileformat/DLL-Dynamic-link-library-file#
EXE - is a file extension for an executable file format. An executable is a file that
contains a program - that is, a particular kind of file that is capable of being executed or
run as a program in the computer. An executable file can be run by a program in
Microsoft DOS or Windows through a command or a double click.
Note:
A file whose name ends in ".exe" is really a program that when opened causes the
operating system to run the program. Users who receive an .exe file as an e-mail
attachment should always be sure that the file comes from a trusted source and does not
contain a virus.
https://whatis.techtarget.com/fileformat/EXE-Executable-file-program#:
1. Basic Input / Output System (BIOS) Device Driver – it has a collection of programs
stored in one or more EEPROM or EPROM (memory) chips, depending on the computer
design, on the motherboard. It refers to the entire set of device drivers in a computer that
provide a link between the hardware and software used on the system. However, the term
5
has now evolved into meaning which is the basic drivers needed to start the computer
system.
In the early days of the PC the BIOS was the ONLY set of drivers. That’s because
the devices for a system “came with the system” and were designed, produced, and/or
created by the computer manufacturer. However, as computer components and
peripherals became manufactured by different companies, or companies that were
separate from the computer designer, device drivers had to be furnished so the computer
and operating system could communicate with the device. It became impossible to store
all the device drivers ever made on a ROM (Read Only Memory) chip on the motherboard.
Instead, individual device drivers were created by the maker of each device and loaded
and stored on the computer. The BIOS driver looks for devices with their own ROM (which
normally contains their own BIOS) and initializes their drivers.
Today, the definition of BIOS drivers usually means the collection of actual drivers
used to get the system started and running in a basic configuration.
For example, on a PC running in safe mode, the system is running on almost
entirely EPROM-based or EEPROM-based BIOS drivers. BIOS drivers perform about
four main tasks. BIOS drivers initiate POST (Power On Self Test), the system
configuration and setup program, the bootstrap loader, and the coordination of loading all
the basic device drivers.
https://driverwhiz.com/device-drivers/system-drivers/bios-drivers
2. Motherboard Drivers
- It contains programs that allow the different ports to function such as Universal
Serial Bus (USB) ports and Input/output (I/O) ports for the mouse and keyboard.
Depending on the manufactured motherboard, the drives may also have basic drivers for
video and audio support.
Note:
BIOS device drivers are not the same as the motherboard device drivers.
3. Hardware Device Drivers – it contains programs that are designed to allow pieces of
computer hardware such as expansion slots to function on a computer. Video cards,
sound cards, network cards and other expansion cards come with driver discs to ease
the installation process of the hardware. Other devices like certain kinds of digital
cameras and MP3 players have PC drivers programmed into their software for easy use.
6
4. Virtual Device Drivers - it emulate a piece of hardware and essentially trick the
computer into thinking that is reading from a piece of actual hardware. A particular and
popular use for virtual device drivers is with reading the .iso files without having the actual
disc.
2. Plug and Play – devices nowadays are plug and play which allows you to connect the
devices before you turn the computer on. Windows will detect the new device and
automatically install it as well as the new drivers for the device.
3. Roll Back – sometimes newer version of the device driver causes incompatibility. Use
the Microsoft System Restore to roll back the driver.
4. Update - If your computer is not functioning well, use Windows Update to determine if
there is an operating system update which may be the cause of the problem with the
device driver. You can also visit the device manufacturer’s website for the available
device update.
PROCEDURE:
7
1. Using the BIOS SETUP - Press F2 to open the BIOS Setup
-The BIOS will display the type of hard drive installed in the system.
2. Using the Device Manager – it is used to see the device driver installed.
Device Manager is a Control Panel applet in Microsoft Windows operating systems. It
allows users to view and control the hardware attached to the computer. When a piece of
hardware is not working, the offending hardware is highlighted for the user to deal with.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_Manager
Device Manager is used to manage the hardware devices installed in a computer like hard
disk drives, keyboards, sound cards, USB devices, and more.
Think of Device Manager as the master list of hardware that Windows
understands.
https://www.lifewire.com/device-manager-2625860
Note:
Wrong driver can result in a system conflict in which can cause a hardware
component malfunction.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Installation
It refers to the particular configuration of a software or hardware with a view to
making it usable with the computer. A soft or digital copy of the piece of software
(program) is needed to install it. There are different processes of installing a piece of
11
software (program). Because the process varies for each program and each computer,
programs (including operating systems) often come with an installer, a specialized
program responsible for doing whatever is needed for the installation.
Boot Disk
It is a removable digital data storage medium from which a computer can load and
run (boot) an operating system or utility program. The computer must have a built-in
program which will load and execute a program from a boot disk meeting certain
standards.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_disk#
Bootable USB Flash Drive - is an external hard drive that can be used to boot a Desktop
computer or a laptop.

5. Change the BIOS boot order so the USB
will be the first device option in the boot sequence.
The BIOS is rarely set up this way by default.
6. Save the change and then exit the BIOS Setup by Pressing the “F10”.
7. The computer will restart using the new settings, booting from your USB drive.
8. Stay alert! Depending on your BIOS, you may be prompted with a message “Press any
key to boot from external device” and you will only have a few seconds to respond.
