How do I bak up my drivers. I am installing a new hard
drive and I do not want to have to redownload all of my
drivers. can I back up my drivers and install them all at
once on the new Hard drive? Also an I activate xp again?
If so what do I have to do?

Thanks in advance

That is what I am trying to figure out. How do I save
them? I have not installed the new hard drive yet. I
want to save my drivers before I do.

If your drivers are not on CDs or floppy disks, then you would download the
latest version of your drivers from the web sites of the manufacturer's of
your devices and then save them to whatever media you choose.
