Is it posible to create a disk drivers from XP installed software?

Our non profit organization has received many laptops (Dell Latitude D430) as gifts. They did not come with driver disks. I would do a fresh install to remove the remains of the former owners, but I will remain without the drivers for the hardware in these systems. I tried to locate a replacement drivers CD-ROM, but it is no longer available. I found the Web site for the Dell drivers confused and unusable.

Is there a way I can extract the drivers of the current facility and build my own drivers disk for use when I reinstall?

Thank you

each dell has a service code express on the side of the pc, if you enter the number on the dell Web site, the drivers for this particular pc will appear

There is a certain order to install dell drivers

SO THAT DELL INSTALL DRIVERS

Software for desktop or Notebook System Software

Chipset or SMBus driver

Processor driver (if applicable)

Video

Audio (sound)

Input drivers (keyboard/mouse)

Modem

Network card

also on the hard drive is a record of WHAT DELL inside is a driver file, your dell drivers are here.

restart after the dss and the chipset.

also, given that most CDs are only at the sp2 level, you will need to install sp3 manually before microsoft updates works:

Download service pack 3

ignore where it says not for a single pc

    Hello

    Thanks in advance...

    I bought a computer hp laptop with windows vista home installed with the software by default. and at this time there, I created recovery disks. Now, I have to update my system to Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Hello abhijit8537,

    first of all, let me tell you that most of the software installed on the unit have an OEM license which means that you can install it only by reinstalling original windows using disks of SRecovery...

    Given that you didn t clear which model is this, I recommend you to go to the link:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome?lc=en&DLC=en&cc=us

    This link will take you to the website of HP customer where you insert your product model number (accessible by a posting on the undercarriage of your windows laptop or inside by pressing Fn + ESC (this second option may not work as you install other OS).

    After inserting the number for your product on the web site of HP Customer Care you will be redirected to the support page of your model where you choose the option "Software & Driver Downloads.

    Inside, you will need to select your operating system and find all the software and drivers available for your device.

    If you need anything just let me know,

    Kind regards

  • Notice: Create a disk (Windows 7 Professional) with Symantec Ghost vs CloneZilla image

    Just for my curiosity and knowledge, of a material point or prospective software,.

    Do you have any recommendation to create a disk for Windows 7 professional image?

    In particular, do you have any comment of what software should I use between Symantec Ghost vs CloneZilla?

    So thank you and have a wonderful day.

    He is a native feature in Windows 7.  Why not use it?  I use it several times and it works great.

    http://www.canadiantech.Info/for-techies/clean-install-tip/

    After Windows 7 drivers system and all updates are installed and stable applications such as Microsoft Office are installed and updated, create a system image.  It will take 3 or 4 DVD +Rs (non - Rs) and about an hour.  When you are finished, you will have a very nice bit of insurance.  You must again and again re - build a damaged system or replacing a hard drive, you will have a double précis of your system as it was at this time.  You can restore this image on a hard drive in about 20 minutes.  Creating a System Image is in your menu in respect of Maintenance, backup and restore.

    Another great feature on the use of the image, it's that you don't have an installation disc or product key to re - install the next time.

    I strongly stress the need for MORE than R DVD not the most common MINIUS R.

    Start, all programs, Maintenance.

  • create image disk without unused space

    Hello

    I don't find any response to this question except what makes a blank image with utility app and drag-and - drop the files but I can't imagine there is not a better solution to create a disk without unused space image. I turn with SD card a lot and need to backup these discs without unused space. Is there a solution?

    Thank you if you have an idea

    Samuel

    If you create a disc from a device image, it won't take as much space being * used * on this unit, not the total capacity of the card.

    In disk utility, file-> new Image-> < device name > Image

  • Satellite A300D - creating recovery disk problem

    Hello.

    I have Toshiba Satellite A300D-11 t (extended A300D-11) and I would like to create recovery disk. Problem is that I can't run the Toshiba Recovery disk creation tool. There is no shortcut in the start menu.
    I tried to run Program Files.

    Program itself exists (or at least I think it does), there are files in the Program Files folder, in "Programs and features" program is also so I could remove it.
    Simply click on the file TosRDC.exe (or any other file *.exe in this case) and it does not start.

    For memory - recovery partition exists and has not been changed.

    System - Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    What should do?

    Hello

    I would say to pick up the machine from the disk and then, immediately after the machine, you should try to create a recovery disk. It could be that something in the meantime destroyed some piece of software in your operating system that could be the reason of this problem.

    Maybe not a very elegant solution but the only one that works every time.

  • Could not create Recovery DISK 2

    Hello

    I just bought a new computer laptop Toshiba Satellite M300/700 and tried to create recovery disks (4 DVD)
    I managed to create DVDs 1,3 & 4 with No Problem, but couldn't have created the DVD 2.
    I tried so many times and all failed after about 10 minutes of running, I've always had the same error messages like below:

    "The question has occurred when saving the data on the disk,
    the current pprocess will be stopped.
    A power calibration area error.
    Please check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
    If so, please try again with a new disc.

    (Error code: 0E01B5-26-00037304) "

    I searched on Google for this problem, then it worked once I used a format r
    any reason that he worked not + R DVD (all brand TDK Gold).

    I used several laptops has never had this type of problem.

    What this means, is repeated defective program or is defective DVD writer?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. I guess this can happen because of Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. I don't know where you bought this laptop but there is a difference between recovery systems in Europe, Australia or US, but presumably also Toshiba recovery disc creator is the same for all laptops Toshiba worldwide.

    So, if you created the recovery media using DVD-R blank, it's OK and take care of them. You can use them for the installation of Vista more far. To be honest, I use only on DVD-R media. Somehow, I do not like the format +.

    What you can do is to use a third party as Nero software and test if it works with the DVD + R/RW media.

    > I used several laptops has never had this type of problem.
    Sorry, but we are discussing about Toshiba recovery disc creator and this software is probably not available on all these laptops you ve had in the past. If you have noticed this problem with Toshiba tool it doesn't mean another burning application cannot handle with DVD + r/RW media.

    If please test and let us know how it works.

    Good bye

    External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

  • Satellite A205-S4797 - cannot load the hard disk drivers

    OK, got my Satellite about 1 year ago (warranty has expired in September, it took a DUMP in October) :_| thought it would be just as good as my other hand, I think that it is Vista I hate, still had some kind of problem. I tried recovery disks that they even run that it says can not find * PREINST2.swm* after several attempts I gave up and bought Vista to reinstall because it wasn't loading drivers to repair the installation.

    Now cannot yet complete a clean install. Can someone please tell me how to load my disk drivers or where I can find them?
    And now, when it starts up it says hard drive failure may be imminent at this stage, I want to just get to the top and runnig and I managed to install XP but only SP1 and all my device drivers aren't compatible.

  • Failed to create recovery disk

    Hello!

    I apologize in advance for my English.

    After a year of perfect operation, I decided to completely restore my system (Windows Vista Home, HDX 18 Premium, 64-bit) using the hidden partition. Everything was fine.

    A week ago, my PC didn't start because he does not recognize the hard drive: no operating system found. No partition has been found, even the hidden (in my system is E).

    I tried to reset the BIOS and I was right: the booted system, performed all necessary diagnostics and load Windows.

    So, I decided to create a recovery disk to restore the system, even if no partition is found.

    But I have been unable to create recovery disks because the Recovery Manager utility froze, did not write any DVD, and after three hours, I had to turn off the PC, because nothing happened.

    My creation of recovery disks is slightly different from the pictures I've seen in many forums: instead of asking what kind of media, I would like to use (DVD, CD) and how many of them is needed, it simply shows a green bar: writing files, from 0% to 100%. When he arrived at 100%, it froze and nothing happened.

    Now I can not create a new set of disk (the program starts, but its window disappears immediately), even if the PC is running and I could (probably) restore the system using the hidden partition.

    Now:

    (1) are useful recovery disks if the hard drive is not recognized at all?

    (2) since it is possible to create a set of disks only, the failure of the attempt account?

    Thank you!

    You are welcome. Be sure to also follow the Macrium prompt to create a bootable cd. Label it as Macrium rescue and set aside to care for the child. Then whenever you need to restore your laptop to your Image backups, just boot with the cd and it guides you through it. Works even if Windows is too damaged to start.

  • Get the message: SynTP Lpr.exe facilities disk drivers Synaptics

    Original title: Synaptics\synTP\media.

    The windows program asks me to tell him where the SynTP Lpr.exe facilities disk drivers Synaptics.  I don't know what or where it is spoken.

    Hi Jmoss66257,

    1. when exactly you get this message?

    2. did you try to update all the drivers or make changes to the computer recently?

    Start SynTPLpr.exe is the Synaptics TouchPad Driver Helper Application. SynTPLpr.exe is installed on laptops that have keys to touch for support and additional configuration. But SynTPLpr.exe is not essential to the use of the touchpad.

    Step 1:

    You can try to start in safe mode and check if the problem occurs.

    Check out the link for more information on starting your computer in SafeMode below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    If you are not facing problems in safe mode, then you will need to uninstall and reinstall all the Synaptics drivers installed on the system.

    Step 2:

    Uninstall and reinstall the Synaptics drivers.

    a. Click Start, point to settings and then click Control Panel.

    b. double-click system click on hardware and then click Device Manager.

    c. click on the PLUS SIGN to expand unit

    d. double-click the Synaptics driver.

    e. tab driver, click on uninstall

    f. restart the computer and check

  • Create more disk space

    I need to create more disk space on c:. I deleted all unvanted programs, deleted temporary Internet files etc., but this is not enough. When I searched through all directories, I found that my TEMP directory contained 14.6 GB of data. The problem is that when I press ctrl + A to mark all files, it says 36.4 MB. I ticked 'show all files' so there must be another type of hidden files.

    Is it possible to see the files and it is then possible to delete some of them or what the system and update files?

    Hi Ian,

    What do you mean by ' reboot disc? I think "Repair disk" for the windows operating system, but I don't know if I'm on the right track. If I am, then click the Start button, followed by all programs. Scroll to the maintenance option and click on it. The menu will grow and you should see an option called "create a system repair disc". Click it to start the process. Do not forget to insert a blank disc into your CD/DVD drive, and then click the option 'create disc '.
