I reformatted xp with the recovery disc that came with my computer. After reinstalling windows I put the drivers and utilities cd in. So my question is, can I make a list of the drivers I will need to REINSTALL, or just back up my drivers. Or burn the specific drivers I need to a cd before install. You see, I had dell help me over the phone and they just connected to my computer and installed the drivers. Now I am out of warranty and IF I ever wanted to reformatt, I am lost on this DRIVER thing. There is a bunch of drivers on the recovey disc I do not need.http://www.innovative-sol.com/drivermax/I almost had a hard attack over this. I was think I should probably GO ahead and buy this, then I saw FREE. I f I was drinking coffe I would have spit it all over the SCREEN. I will sleep better tonight, thanksKeep coffee away from your computer And the Beer...Beer is actually more important than computer, so keep computer away from beer.I sit CORRECTED...Very well, then Nudge...nudge.............say no more.

Ahem! Many people would be surprised to find that for whatever software needs you have, there is almost always a free alternative. And in many cases, the free software is better than the expensive stuff.I agree. If someone else buys the beer, it is a lot better.
