I am ready to format my CPU because of too many errors, Pop-Ups, etc.. I have formatted my Hard drive before and it was a BIG hastle because I didn't have all of the drivers. Is there a way for me to backup all of my drivers to a disk?

Yes. There are programs that will back up ALL of your drivers. Just follow its little backup wizard, save whatever files / folders it outputs to a CD (along with the program itself), format your hard drive, reinstall Windows, blah blah blah, reinstall the program, go through the restore wizard and point it to the files / folders it created earlier.
One such program I know of is called MyDrivers. I'm not sure if its free or not? There should be several others too.

Yeah u can download driver genuis and backup yur drivers on a CD. This program requires to pay. If u remember which cds u got the drivers from, collect them, take all d drivers in each cd and put them in a folder on the HD and then burn it. So everything in one cd. If things are bad, go to device manager and write down the name of each hardware device so when u format and u see whats unavaliable, u can go on the net and download the driver eg www.driverguide.com and d same drivers u download, burn them on a cd. Laterz!

If your having that much troubles maybe you should run a few programs like spy-bot and ad aware on it.. I don't know why you would want to reformat your drivers for a simple problem like this. If you need help with it you can contact me at rumnyboi@hotmail.com. I have plenty of programs and virus scans that are compatible with any system. I can also find you programs that are not even offered in th USA or the UK

Try going to the various manufacturer websites, downloading the latest drivers for all your hardware, and burning them onto a CD.

You don't have to back them up.
Get the brand and model number on your computer, then visit the brand's website and click on drivers, for exampleif your computer is a Dell, then you visit dell.com...

sure you can...you just have to find the drivers folder in windows and you should be able to copy and paste it to a cd or memory stick
