Self-installing driver packs?
I've been reformatting a few laptops for my company to sell. They are both Dells, one's a D830, the other a D630.
They had all this crappy internet filtering software and other stuff I had to get rid of, so I ordered the Win XP disk off Dell. (It was free because I was in warranty.)
The crappy part is, the disk is for all Dells out there, so there are no drivers included. I have to go to the dell site and download and individually install up to 60 drivers per machine. This takes for freaking ever.
Why the hell do they not pre-pack the drivers into a software that installs them in the right order? How is Joe Blow supposed to know the friggin order of these drivers?
All I can find online are these programs that diagnose what drivers you need and then downloads them automatically. This is really stupid and redundant considering I DON'T HAVE THE DRIVERS FOR THE NETWORK CARD, SO I CAN'T ACCESS THE INTERNET!!
I'm doing this the long way, and it really sucks. Just another reason I love HP and their all-encompassing recovery partition, like what I have on my personal laptop.
Anyways, is there a good website anyone knows of that just allows you to download a driver pack that self installs? Or am I dreaming?
