just wondering if there is such a thing

i heard about this soft that gets all the installer of the hardware in your computer so next time whenever u need to re-install windows again because of virus or anything u got everything.

Software packages are available to do this. Here is an example:

or

There are many out there. A google search for "Driver Backup" should reveal more. I think you may find some freeware that can do this.


Here is a couple freeware ones I came across after a google search. Never used this one so can't make a recommendation about it. You can try this one and then use a paid utility if they doesn't work.
