saving drivers before reinstall
hello,
I want to reinstall xp on my laptop and wipe the lot. I was just wondering if I could save all the drivers needed to run all the hardware, sound card, wireless, modem, graphics card etc etc... to save time of searching for them all on the internet afterwards. Im not the greatest on pc's so if you could explain it as easy as posible it would be great. The laptop is a sony vaio pcg-7m1m |

Re: saving drivers before reinstall
Hi,
When I entered your number, it gave me VGNF S515B, then directed me to Europe. Do not want to give any advice until number and or country is known for sure. It also said the number is located on the back or bottom. You want to compare componets in device manager and have the drivers backed up from the sony website.

Re: saving drivers before reinstall
Yes I agree with Rockmaster on this drivermax will back up all the drivers, you need tro simply find the folder they are in and burn them to a cd.
