Free Device Driver Backup and Extraction Utilities
The software on this page enable you to copy / backup / extract the device drivers for your Windows system in a form so that you can use them to reinstall your system. This is useful for situations when you have lost your device drivers CD or when you have bought a computer that came with a preloaded system and no device drivers CD. The utilities here allow you to backup your device drivers (particularly the third party drivers, that is, those that did not come from Microsoft) and package them in a form that you can use to load in a Windows system (after, say, you have reinstalled Windows).

- DriverBackup!
DriverBackup! copies the installed drivers in your Windows system and recreates the INF files needed so that they can be reinstalled in Windows in the future. It extracts both Microsoft and non-Microsoft drivers. The software is released under the GNU General Public License, which means it is both free and open source.

It is freely available in many places (it's a redistributable component of Microsoft Visual Basic that programmers ship with their programs).

DriverMax extracts the installed drivers in your Windows system and copies them along with the INF files so that they can be reinstalled in the future when needed (such as when you install Windows again).
