1272634 2012-04-29 02:43:00 Hi guys I need to test a mobo for selling and I have no driver disk so I need to go about compiling my own one.
How do I go about that and which files do I download and don't download?:nerd: Thanks again.

1272635 2012-04-29 03:10:00 Get them from the mobo maker's site. If you need Intel chipset drivers, get them from the Intel site. If its the one youre on, you could try driver magician (its not free forever tho, I think).

But it can scan your system for whatever drivers (that have been installed / update them / let you download them). And it can also backup the drivers (that are installed). And save them as a zipped file. Or as one single exe file

I used it to back up the drivers on this (for XP). Then made a slipstreamed CD, and added them

1272636 2012-04-29 03:32:00 So technically I can put all the drivers into one .exe file and use it for when installing the mobo? ChazTheGeek (16619)
1272637 2012-04-29 03:38:00 After windows has been installed yup. Thats if you use driver magician. Or it can save whatever driver separately in folders. But this way you'll have to add / install them separately through device manager. Or if you know how to use Nlite, you can slipstream them (if you use XP). You would have to extract the files (in chipset files) and see if there's an inf file in it. This is what you need for Nlite to slipstream it Speedy Gonzales (78)
