I have recently installed Windows Vista cleanly on my pc. Upon that the sound driver and the ethernet driver was not able to load. So i pointed it to the previous Vista install directory which was RC1 and then the driver was getting installed properly. But now, I want to wipe that parition where this RC1 version is installed and therefore I needed some information like which folder should i keep from that Vista version that might have the drivers? Does anyone know about it?
The driver files might be already put by Vista in the current Windows folder or sub-folders and hence you may not require anything from the previous operating system installation. Normally, all files and folders are also backed up in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository, so you would be able to have a glance on same if you want to. Hope that this helps you out.
Actually I want to keep those files in a safe place and therefore in need them all. The reason why I want this files is because when I did the clean Vista installation then the sound driver and ethernet driver were not loading at all, but to get this 2 things to be installed on my machine I had to use the "Have Disk" option and point them to the drive that had the old installation. So you see why I need those files now?
