Saving Printer Drivers to CD for re-use later

    Hi all,

    I'm still trying to sucessfully install Vista SP1 after several attemps. Downloads correctly but hangs on Stage 3 of 3 at 100% and says "reverting drive" or something similar.

    I have checked as far as I can about my drivers being up todate and think they are - however, it has only dawned on last night that I have several printers set up on my Vista setup.

    There is only one printer attached at any one time by USB. There are 2 pdf printer drivers as well xps printer driver and drivers for HP3055 and a HP3015.

    Problem / question = how can copy to CD for re-use later / re-install the printer drivers that I have. How do I identify the files needed etc.

    Thinking if I removed all printers and then attempt install of SP1, would it work? Then I can use the CD I made and reinstall the printer drivers for all those I have. Is that the way to go to ensure SP1 installs correctly and my laptop is up to date?

    Also, I have noticed that although I take all the downloads offered by Windowsupdate, I have in the past week or so been offered a few from 2007. Why would I get updates presented now from so long ago?

    I hope someone can suggest if this plan will cure the problems I have re SP1.

    Regards,


    HPMan

    Download the latest drivers from the HP website and save them to disc. Alot easier.

    google "my drivers". The evaluation version allows you to backup your drivers.

    The error message maybe a little more sinister though - If you have no look you may have to boot to recovery partition and remove pending.xml.
