Windows XP Home Driver backup

[aaronjonmartin]

I have 5 pcs that are currently running Windows XP. I am going to format all 5 and install windows XP Pro on them. Before I do I was wondering is there a simple way I can back up all the drivers that the machines are currently using so that when I install xp pro on them I can quickly and easily install the drivers on each pc without having to search the internet for the drivers i need?

How can I do this?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

This line:

"I have 5 pcs that are currently running Windows XP."

Should read:

"I have 5 pcs that are currently running Windows XP Home."

sorry about that

The November edition of PC World (in the UK) has a copy of "Driver Genius 5" on its cover disk, this claims to do exactly what you want. You might be able to google and download a copy.
