WinDriversBackup Personal Edition v1.0.9
(This is taken right from the help file)
To Backup ALL your drivers:
Backing up your driver files…
STEP 1: To back up your computer’s drivers first select whether to back up Non-MS Drivers or all drivers. By selecting “Identify non-MS drivers” or “Identify All Drivers”
STEP 2: Once the desired driver files have been identified click on “select all” and then click on the button labelled, “Backup drivers”. WinDriversBackup will begin saving your driver files in the folder indicated on the main window. If you wish to save the driver files to a different location select the button labelled, “Back up drivers in this folder:”
If you are formatting move your drivers over to a CD or an ipod or other type of storage media because the entire hard drive will be erased so you obviously need to move them off your computer.
To RESTORE your Drivers after you format your computer:
When prompted by the operating system (Add New Hardware Wizard) use the “Install from a list or specific location (advanced)” or “have disk” option provided. Then, browse to the location where you saved the driver installation files using WinDriversBackup.
If this does not happen you simply do the following:
Right click on “My Computer” and go to “Properties” as shown below
You will then be in the “System properties” window. Choose the Hardware tab, and click Device Manager. It will be similar to what you see below.
Anything that you do not have drivers for will have a Yellow question mark with a “!” over it. That means it is unknown. Right click on the unknown item and click on “update driver” that will bring you to the wizard just select “Install from a list or specific location (advanced)” and select the location of your driver’s folder.
