freeware

run it from say C:\drivergrabber.exe
you'll see an icon in taskbar
after its done (up to 1 min) you'll have a C:\Drivers folder

Cool so it scans your PC for devices present and the relevant drivers and archives them for you?

I downloaded the util when I saw this thread but just ran it now. It is brilliant. And it will make for an even better nLite install. Cheers again bledd.

Great stuff bledd, bookmarked it for future reference :cool:

nice little tool... although it did take me a little bit to work out why it wasn't working. It was creating a folder called drivers on my desktop... thing is i already have a folder called drivers, so it looked like it was doing nothing

What a fantastic tool for those old random pcs that occasionally pop into the office and leave you thinking how on earth will I find the drivers for this.

It would be good for reinstall laptop stuff for like Dells for example.

Great Idea but, a shame that it only archives the drivers you have installed. Would be nice to find a program that looks at your hardware then searches the Web for the correct drivers.
All the same, it could have it uses.

Wow this will save me a fortune of time, that's usually the biggest worry I have before considering reinstalling a machine. Nice find sir, thanks

Yup. Just select the multi-folder option and then select the root i.e. Drivers and nLite will pick them all up. Quite a useful app in this context then. Well done to bledd for informing us about it in the first place and keeping us up-to-date with the new version.
