Inthane, the restore folder no longer exists as I went into system
performance and disabled rollbacks. This trashes the database of snapshots
and frees up disk space. After doing this dangerous step i found I only
gained 4gb of free space. *sigh*
What I want is to find that sector where the recovery files are loaded and
reinitialize the system to its basic state.
Alas, this will require a sightling present.
As for the d drive, that only helps if I have a cd to put in it, which I
don't.
Happy hacking.

Laura,
1. usually the drivers are available, either in a folder on the C drive
along with restore files, or more usually now a days, on a D drive of the
comp.
2. no turning off that feature does not ka bosh the reloading capabilities.
3. usually there is an item in the start menu, often in the system tools
folder that may look like a second "system restore", and at least on my
comp, the names almost the same, system reset, which included an application
to create my restore disks, one to load/reload the drivers and certain
programs like Norton and MacAfee anti-spyware, and a third for a total wipe
and reload of the system with options to "try to save" data and do the deed,
or just "wipe everything and reload".
4. you should be able to get your drivers off the manufactures website as
well, I know I can, and have done so for others.
5. I am fairly sure that the drivers are quite different, since I have seen
driver packages for Linux along with the windows ones on sites for video
cards and the like, but I don't think they will be included with the restore
set.
HTH,
inthane
