How to find drivers for Vista

[Turge]

1. From Windows XP with all the latest drivers loaded, download and install Driver Genius

2. Backup drivers to a folder. Each driver will be in its own individual folder with its Device Manager name.

3. Browse to root of drivers folder and search for all files. Select them all and copy them all to a different folder (C:\AllDrivers)

4. Install Vista and browse to c:\AllDrivers when it prompts for a driver

Alternatively, you can use Driver Genius to create an EXE auto-installer.

Pretty much worked with every driver I needed for my A8N-SLI Premium mobo.
