    Tool to backup device drivers before re-installing operating system
    Is there a tool online that allows you to backup your device drivers before you re-install the operating system? I've read about Driver Magician but I'll also had comments that it shouldn't be used.

    Thanks,
    Kari

    You need to reinstall the drivers, a backup won't help. Ao you need the original install files.
