Hi
Well are you using software to backup drivers?...if so then install windows then put software back on what you backed up your drivers with and restore drivers.

[Britec]

You may need to install XP Drivers and Not Vista Drivers? have a look in device manager to see if drivers are ok?

[Britec]

backup with software...then reformat...then install software and restore your drivers from backup location, you can backup drivers to a driver your going to format ok?

@LilBSOD Your drivers have got to be compatible for windows 7, but windows 7 finds alot of drivers when you install it.

[Britec]

do you know where the files are located?
if so use unlocker to delete them or cmd and to delete dll make sure you unregister the dll first, and you should be ok

This video is on how to backup drivers and restore them?

[haaych]

Very informative video, cheers for that but I am still lost as to what to do. I have a work PC and the hardrive is too small. I dont want to install an external hdd and would basically like a bigger internal hdd. How would I save all my settings? I like the way my machine runs with the software that I have on there and the settings for my Outlook and Thunderbird emails. Is this possible or would I have to install and setup individual software from scratch? I look forward to your reply, ta.

I am having hard time to find drivers to my machine. So I have windows 8 drivers. Can I back up (wifi and graphic card drivers) from windows 8 and I want to install windows vista in the same computer but different hard drive partition...
Will that backed up drivers work ? since it is from same machine

Hey please help me do you think I could use this software on two identical computers to be able to get the drivers back cause one had to be completely wiped and now I can't go on the internet cause I have no Ethernet drivers? Sorry for the run on sentence im just really tired right now.
