Hi,

I am wondering if it was possible to backup just the drivers for my computers hardware.

This is so that the next time I reload my operating system, I won't have to add unnecessary programs that come with some of my devices (the drivers are included in install program).

Help!

I would just go to device manager, identify the devices that need drivers (video, chipset, sound, network, etc) & see which driver version they're currently using. Then do a google search for the same driver (or newer if possible), download them & back them up to a disc.
