Hey, thanks for the great tip. Will soon give it a try. I think this should help in making things much easier in upgrading over to my new PC. Cheers!

DriverMax is a spyware loaded program requiring registration and lacks the drivers needed for some Acer laptops, Toshiba laptops…
Also unhelpful in my experience were forums where you register and create an account to find the same useless link to a nonexisting driver.
Incredibly frustrating is the Vista experience. XP Pro is needed for all of my professional computing – - otherwise I would use Linux(Ubuntu works well enough for my purposes excepting the professional software restricted to Windows).
Newer models of computers often come with Vista drivers only.
It would be a professional approach for these manufacturers to ship the device driver CD’s and other necessary CD’s with OPTIONAL bunk software CD’s as opposed to preinstalled junkware. Hmm… funny how there are not too many businesses concerned with being professional and how there is such a temptation($) to preload stripped OS’s and junkware.

Try searching scroogle.org for various languages of the device drivers you need. Other countries may have what you need.

This looks like it is a great tool.

I will be using this to export drivers the next time i will be doing a format.

Looks like just what I need. But the computer I want to copy the drivers from is not to be put on the internet, so I can’t download DriverMAX to that machine. Can I download it to another machine and move it over? Is there a DriverMAX disk available. Can I install DriverMAX on multiple machines?

Thanks

I have 4 hard drives, the first has XP on it, but isn’t bootable. my 2nd hard drive has a messed up version of vista on it and isn’t bootable. my 3rd drive has ubuntu, which i’m currently on. I’m trying to get XP on the fourth, and I got it installed alright, but I need the drivers, and I don’t want to search again. How do I get the drivers from my first HD (the one with non-bootable XP) onto my new HD? I tried copying the system32/drivers folder to my new HD, but it didn’t work, even if I tell the driver updater to search that folder, it doesn’t let me – it says there are no drivers in it.
