I am at work and I need to install drivers on 5 different computers that are the same. I do not have a driver disk... is there a way to create one?

Also is there some sort of freeware that searches your computer and updates your drivers

lol point three... is there a way to get all the windows updates quickly?#

Thanks !
 
If you are running XP and need all updates from SP2 upto SP3 you can download and burn the ISO disk image of the latest service pack to disk for use on multiple systems. You would still miss anything released like security fixes after SP3 came out however as well as optional hardware and software updates scanned at the MS update site itself.

For Vista SP1 is also available in a redistributable form where you simply download it to a folder and run it from the hard drive. Both versions see the redistributed form you can download and burn to a cd-r.

As far as all other updates you need to go to the support site for each hardware/device or software on each machine unless all are identical where you download everything to one folder and burn onto disk for copying and installation on the remaining machines. Removable media is the answer there.
 
With 5 matching systems that should work out well for you there. It's certainly far easier then having to download to each machine separately having a ready to go disk made up. :D
