About to reinstall windows on a pc. But i don't have the driver discs.
Is there anyway to back up all the drivers to put back on once i have formated?

thanks,

Johns

You could copy them to an external hard drive or CD, alternately, and better, just download all the latest ones from internet after your re-install

Well your drivers are available separately from each of the vendors websites, your main ones are your gfx drivers, either from nvidia or ATI direct. Re-install then run windows update, that should find most of them for you

Yeah, been looking around. Found the one for my ethernet port. So should be ok.

Thanks.

If you are feeling adventurous, you could make an un-attended disc with all the drivers on already

Have a look at these
