Finding Drivers

When doing PC repairs people that have crashed their hard drive or etc require windows to be reloaded clean and the main problems I have is with drivers. I use drivermax and Driver guide but sometimes I still run into issues finding drivers.

Are there some other services I should be using to find drivers better than drivermax and driverguide?

I would get the drivers for the particular piece of hardware. The hardware manufacturers web-site should have drivers available online

Well the problem is that sometimes you don't know what the hardware ls. It just shows up with the yellow mark beside it in device manager.

This is what I always do, if i cant find out the drivers.

Goto Run -> Devmgmt.msc
Right Click and goto properties of the Device you want to find the driver(Might be in yellow color)
Go to Details TAB.
Select Hardware IDs from the drop down copy the first Value(CTRL+C)

Now goto this Site. This will give you almost all the drivers in the world.

Smply past and Search
You will surely get the relevant Drivers. Just download the relevant Driver and install.

This works for me very well.
