does anyone know if its possible to grab the drivers off a recovery cd somehow?

i want to try the original drivers rather then downloading new ones as i have a few issues with my laptop.

If you installed Windows from the recover partition, you could use something like My Drivers to get all the driver files.

Yeah best bet would be grabbing them from the recovery partition. There was a certain folder that had them...I think it was swsetup. When I got mine, I blew everything away and installed XP pro and lost that.
