Unhappy

I want to locate and copy drivers and software for my modem, graphics card, sound card etc. from my old hard disk to my new hard disk. They are not held in a single folder but scattered all over the disk. I want to run a new operating system on the new hard disk so do not want to copy the whole disc across. I do not have the original software and the drivers I can download from the internet is no good without it. HOW DO I DO IT??? I can locate the programme names in add/remove programmes, but how do I copy this information to disk???

I wanted to do the same (copy the drivers)

Your link isnt working. I think I know how to do this by going to the system files and copying the divers folder but not sure, dont want to miss something. Any suggestions?

Is the operating system on the new hard drive going to be the same as on the old hard drive?
