We have a large amount of 3420s in our environment and they come from Dell with the BIOS storage option set to RAID. I had no issues imaging them while on RAID when we first got them 2-3 years ago. I've had to reimage a bunch of them recently and I can't for the life of me figure out what driver combination I need to not have them blue screen or just get into a boot loop with the Dell logo after the OS installs. I am using the WinPE 11 driver pack. I have found a bunch of threads saying to try various things but I cannot get anything to work. I know the simplest solution is to switch the storage to AHCI but I would rather save myself the trouble of going into the BIOS every time I image one to double check that it set correctly. I have tried putting a step in my TS to switch to AHCI before OSD but I haven't been able to get that to work either. I have also tried just adding the storage drivers from the 3420 driver pack directly into the boot image with the WinPE 11 drivers but that doesn't seem to work either. I've tried deleting older versions of the Intel RST and sometimes I get an error about nvstor.sys missing after the boot image loads and it shuts down. Or sometimes the TS fails at the "Use Toolkit" step and it usually stems from certain drivers missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. For the Latitude 3420, all the drivers installation in a similar manner except that some systems may have more devices than another.
After a clean installation of the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system, you must install the following drivers and software packages:
I have a dell latitude 3420 whereby the wifi adapter will random go off, I have install the BIOS driver and for the wifi driver when I tried to install it will ask to repair it, even I uninstall the driver first(with restart). Even second attempt still asked to repair on the wifi driver instead, tried using support assist to install and I notice it's still not reflecting.
Hey I just posted a possible solution. Check your hardware ids for both realtek devices. In my case they were different hardware ids all together so windows was automatically installing the wrong driver!I didn't see Intel smart audio in the dell drivers so I used iobit driver booster to update all the drivers in the system and everything started working fine afterwards I'm thinking I found the solution.
Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me! I have 160x Dell Latitude 3420 with Intel I219-V network cards. I normally use a standard boot.wim with wds to network boot devices but it seems to be failing because there is no compatible driver in the boot.wim as when I use a USB ethernet adapter it works fine. I have tried injecting all sorts of drivers from Dell and Intel with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas? The boot.wim is from a Windows 10 Education/Enterprise Volume 21H1 ISO.
I would check on Dell's support website for a firmware update on the docking station. Maybe that could resolve the issue? I've worked with the WD19TBS on several occasion and in general they are pretty finicky. I would check the port for damage as well possibly. If you check the service tag also maybe its under some warranty and could be replaced or repaired by Dell? Its worth checking at least. Hope this info helps

We have tested numerous theories - testing 20H2 - testing with no decrap - testing out of the box image - testing with older audio drivers - testing with older .net - testing full updates via dell command & no updates via dell command - tested different BIOS configs and power saving settings - all with the same results.
