Driver Arcive Software

A couple of years ago I saw a program which called itself a drive archive program. You loaded it on your computer, ran it and it made a backup of all your drivers in case you needed to re-install and had lost a disk. Has anyone heard of this program? No, I don't know the name, I think it began with a p, and I really would like to find that program now. Thanks, Dennis

 

Hi Dennis, welcome to WindowsBBS

It would help if we at least knew your Operating System

(Please enter your System Details. It helps us in answering your questions!)

I heard of a similar program back in the days of 98 though I doubt it would work with Vista/7. Even then though I found finding drivers for the hardware online was relativly easy to find so didn't bother using it other than for curiosity.

 

Running XP SP 3 on a core 2 duo with 4 gigs of ram. My issue is that there is something showing up as an unknown device and I want to run this on an identical machine.

 

The system is XP SP 3 with a core two duo and 4 gigs of ram. I have two similar machines and I want to run the archive software on one to restore the other machine. I have all drivers on the one I want to restore except for something showing up as an "unknown" device. I know those are usually chipsets but I cannot find the chipset listed on the HP site, which is where the Motherboard came from.

 

Again if you complete your system details as per instructions it'd help us (and you) know what hardware was installed.

 

Free Windows Drivers backup

 

There are some free driver backup software. You need to investigate them to see if they really are free and don't come burdened with spyware.

Please reply to the suggestions. If you have tried the suggestion, let us know if it worked. We try to offer a "good suggestion "....
