How to Extract Drivers from a PC
Hello, I am looking to rebuild a PC. Before rebuilding, how can I extract the drivers from the PC, so that I don't have to search around for them afterwards.
I was told by colleague once, that there was a way of doing this.
Thanks.
Alex.

Thanks for quick respone. 16.
I am a junior engineer, so it will probably be useful to me later. But my fear is if we have to buy more than one license then it may not be worth it for me.

You can also use Doubledriver, which is freeware. It is obtainable here:

Nileshroy Version 10.0.0.526 is out just saw it & must buy it on monday :-)
Additional information:
You can install, update or reinstall the created backup.exe file using scripts (also silent). Very helpful & don't like to miss it. :-)

You may want to check with your clients first at which devices they actually need or you risk just burdenining their new pc with the same bunch of junk that killed their old pc.
Belarc also give a good and fairly readable inventory list of software (and serials!) to use as a reference.

Thank you all for helpful advice and suggestions. I have purchased Driver Genius and will give it a go.
You are welcome & thanks for the points!
Dont forget, you will have to buy 8 licenses.
1 license is for 2 computers.

I am assuming you can use one Driver Genuis license to extract drivers from several machines? Right?
