摘要: Described herein is a technology for automatically updating the most current program modules associated with just-detected hardware device. In one described implementation, program-module updater generates list of to-be-copied modules. Typically, these are devices. This implementation stores data structure each module in such list. Each includes an entry that indicates source location module. For example and typically, original installation operating system. The examines to identify any listed have been updated it modifies so copies all hardware-specific storage computer. indicated by its structure.
