You don't need the CD. I know, but maybe the linux guy didn't. I'm almost laughing - almost - thinking about how those driver diskettes and CD's used to be treated like precious jewels. --Vic I still have a few around for the oddball drivers they contain. Sometimes you can find more up to date ones around, and sometimes you can't. HP sadly is now NOT putting all the drivers its desktop computers use up on its web pages, and the only way you can fix a bad driver is to do a system restore. Thus, my friend with the HP machine...we went driver shopping on a driver website and made up a driver CD for him. As Louis Pasteur wrote, chance favors the prepared mind. There's a place - drivers.com I think - you can find most anything. But if it's an oddball, I put it in a HD directory anyway, so I don't have to keep disks or CD's around. My stuff is backed up on 3 HD's. Of course I don't do off-site, so if the PC gets fried, or the house burns, it's all gone anyway. BFD. --Vic |
