Can anyone please help? HOw do I back all the drivers installed on my PC? It
takes a while to go through all cd's after re-booting from Windows CD and
would like to find easier way.
 
Backing up your drivers is an excellent idea. What you really need to do is
to backup the installers for your drivers. If you're not sure where they're
located, the easiest thing to do is to download them again into a special
folder. Whenever you update your drivers, be sure to update your backup
folder as well.

You probably have some of your drivers on CDs from the computer
manufacturer. You can copy them from the CD into your special folder. (But
there's no real need for that if you have the CD.)

While you're doing all that, you may as well backup up the installers from
your other software, and particularly the upgrades to your software.
