This bootleg has multiple versions of itself which you can install in the boot selector, which you can choose to bundle SATA/RAID drivers.

The original version of this bootleg was chosen for image capture for demonstrational, educational and entertainment purposes, as shown by the desktop screenshot.

Update: Additional scientific research has been conducted after this article was initially published and the author of this article has acquired new information and photographs not taken previously. The other versions of this bootleg do not present much visual difference other than altered branding. The setup has been re-captured to compensate for fatal user negligence.

Update #2: The "All Drivers" variant of the desktop image had the start menu opened, which is incorrect and is against the wiki standards. The image has been corrected and renamed properly.
