Hi, Me again..... I got a NoteBook with XP home installed on it, and having a wireless lan as well. Is there any way that i can save my existing drivers for the wireless lan and format the laptop and re-install windows XP and install the saved drivers again. I could not find the driver at the manufacturer's site as well. Any help would be appriciated.....

Web searched this and found a forum, the last entry about driverguidetoolkit seems your best bet. http://discussions.virtualdr.com/archive/index.php/t-181905.html

A program called WinDriversBackup is free, yet one must have a place to store the drivers, maybe burn them to CD.

Your link jubalsams is the same company as my forum find link (not an outright repost), except mine is their latest software which probably means it works better. Actually that WinDriversBackup was even suggested on my forum link.
But "DriverGuide Toolkit is shareware, and is FREE to download and try for 2 days. The software may be purchased for only $19.95 U.S. -- this is an introductory price that will expire soon, the regular price is $29.95. There are discounts available for licensing multiple copies"
Drivers might even be smaller than 1.44mb so you could possibly save it to a floppy. The fact it is shareware means you "can" use it past 2 days, but you really shouldn't and should purchase it. But my guess is you can reinstall your OS within 2 days hehe,
best regards, jb

Might want to try that free version of WinDriversBackupPersonalEdition as I believe it will back them up but you have to pay in order to use it's restore feature.
