I detach a retired NVIDIA Quadro from a nearby workstation, pass it through to the PE environment using FalconFour’s “Driver Injector” tool. The USB stick’s OS recognizes the card instantly. 64-bit drivers from Hiren’s 10.6 library click into place.
The drive unlocks.
Then I mount the recovered NTFS volume. The PACS folder is intact. Every MRI. Every X-ray. Every CT scan.
