The Only Non-Microsoft Drivers flag (not only Microsoft drivers) is used to display device drivers of all firms other than Microsoft, because Microsoft drivers are in the operating system installation program and, as a rule, there is no need to extract.
To display the device driver list, you must double-click on it with the left mouse button or select List Driver Files in the File menu (driver list). To save the specified files, click the Save button and select a directory for saving in which the program will create a directory with the device name and save the files shown there.

Another item from the File menu - make snapshot is designed to create a cast installed in the driver system for the currently available devices. The cast is the usual text file With a simple structure and stored in the file with the extension "SN". Calling a list from the cast is possible through the SnapWindow (Sleep Window).
Utulities menu (utilities) is intended for quick call Windows Device Manager and New Hardware Installation Dialogue.

In the question of how to save the drivers when on a laptop, for example, no matter how much it wanted, they cannot be discounted. But first things first.
How to save drivers when reinstalling Windows 7: General questions
Let's start, perhaps, from the very concept of technology on which the preservation of backup. Indeed, it is a backup copy of the installed drivers that may have a version, higher than those containing in the original database of the "seven".
But here there is a certain paradox. Of course, if there is an appropriate utility or own system of the system, you can create a copy of it, but there will be a lot of unnecessary trash, which occupies a lot of space, and the question of how to save the drivers when reinstalling Windows 7, in general, will even move away to the background. The system itself, even if recovery, installs its own components, as they say, despite faces.
Why do you need it?
There is still one more burning question. Many will ask, they say, why produce all these operations? As an explanation, you can only give what was said above: Diver database of the most "seven" even with all its installed updates packages are unable to update or install specific devices drivers. Yes, she will simply establish the most, in her opinion, a suitable driver, and will give a message that it is the best of everything that is in stock.
But then, when entering the same "Device Manager", the user suddenly sees the yellow background with exclamation familiar On some device, which will indicate only that it works incorrectly or does not work at all. Here, the user will begin to wonder how to save the drivers when reinstalling Windows 7, and until the moment when the process of re-installation has begun (before everything worked well).
How to recover from copy
Now a little about what you can do with the created copy (we will talk about it a little later and more details). In principle, with certain settings, it can be easily saved in the system section (in the same original location ( dRIVERS folder Directory System 32 Windows root directory) or in another logical volume, and even though record on the usual USB flash drive or optical disk - It's like someone like.
The same copy itself looks like a certain archive or image, unpacking which and you can integrate previously installed drivers into the system.

Roughly speaking, if "Windows" is installed on the C drive, but there is Rada D, simply point it. If the ultimate directory is missing, it will be created automatically during the copy process.
Yes, immediately note that copies of the drivers will not be saved in the original form, but in the form of OEMNN.INF files (.inf - standard extensions installation File Drivers). What is the most interesting, will be copied not only system files Both programs, but also related dynamic libraries of DLL format.

And not everyone knows that when uSB devices Priority to download (if it is used as a recovery tool, for example) you need to insert it into the slot or in the port before turning on the computer terminal or laptop (otherwise it is simply not determined, and the system will say that there is no disc for download (or simply loads the usual "Windows"). Of course, you can use such copying, but it is better to copy the drivers to the system boot disk Or another device, and when the system begins to offer the installation of divers, specify their location on removable media (if initially drivers were saved there or simply copied from the main place).
