Default Gather Drivers

Is there an app that will copy all Windows drivers to a folder ?

Why ? If I want to totally clean a PC C: Drive and load Windows back on
the drive making a free install, I would like to reuse the working
drivers that I probably will not be able to find on the web.


I use Double Driver. It saves only the drivers, not all the
adware and sometimes spyware that sometimes come bundled with the
"official" drivers.

I install Windows, install all the drivers from the MB's DVD,
update them, save them with Double driver to a USB then format and
reinstall Windows, and then use Double Driver to re-install the
drivers.

It's portable.
If they work OK I burn the drivers to a CD (I still have some
left) just in case I get malware or a crash that messes with the
drivers. Installing Windows twice in a day is a royal PITA.
