It’s a real pain to find all the drivers you need after installing your operating system.

To spare yourself this pain, you should always back them up to a safe location, like a cd-rom or an external hard drive.

DriveMax is one of those freeware that does a pretty good job in identifying your drivers, back them up and easily reinstall them, when you need them.

Although is a freeware, a registration key is required.

Go ahead and try it!

OS supported : Windows XP and Vista only

Derrick!!! You can’t cross-switch the drivers between different operating systems.
XP wouldn’t recognize drivers developed for Vista and Vista wouldn’t work properly with the devices whose drivers are made for XP.
Don’t even think of that

I didn’t see this second last comment.
I have to agree with Navin, Derrick.
Of course, since then you probably tried that already……
