grant3 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I have tried Double Driver to extract drivers from my laptop. It worked very easily, but it missed a file from 3 different drivers (according to WinToolkit) so I'm nervous it may have also missed entire drivers that I'm unaware of.

monkee Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Wouldn't it be easier to get the drivers from the official website(s) and then -if you want to- extract them with 7zip in their own folders? If your system is old or are not sure which drivers/hardware you use, you can always go with driverpacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your system is old or are not sure which drivers/hardware you use, you can always go with driverpacks.But I agree that, as said by monkee that downloading the drivers from their oficial website is the best option.In anyway, if you can't do it for some reason you can go through the harder way, which is to copy the entire windows partition to a backup and then run the search for each driver on this backup after you have reformatted the computer, it will work for sure, you may have to find one or two drivers manually as it sometimes will pop you up for a missing file, which you will need to direct it to the folder, by using search tool first.

ricktendo Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Install drivers, then go to %WinDir%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository, sort the folders by date and your drivers should move to the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogurt Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Wouldn't it be easier to get the drivers from the official website(s) and then -if you want to- extract them with 7zip in their own folders? If your system is old or are not sure which drivers/hardware you use, you can always go with driver-packs.Windows 7 has come a long way with respect to drivers. I have used the method suggested by monkey in various scenarios and it has always worked. I have used this method to integrate drivers using either win toolkit or NT6.x True Integrator.
