Need help making Drivers disk

[Snaketh]

I have an acer laptop which its harddrive broke....I had an older toshiba where its harddrive was fine my only problem is that the drivers are clashing so much. If there a way to get home made restore kit? Without buying one from acer like can i just put all the drivers on a disk and reboot windows? Any suggestions would be awesome thank you.

The model number for the acer is PB71305

I'm afraid I am not quite clear on what you are asking.

Here is my attempt: You put the hard drive from your Toshiba in your Acer laptop, but there is some (insert problem here) that keeps it from booting/running correctly.

If they are really different (and I am talking Intel/AMD different) this is going to be tough if not impossible.

What OS is it?

If the old Toshiba laptop is still running, put it's drive back in it, uninstall every driver, and try to boot it on the Acer again.

Just remember that a laptop has an OEM license. So the only legal way to do what you want would be to:
1. Order a set of recovery disks and re-install the OS, or
2. Reinstall Windows with an OS DVD and, depending on the OS, use the key that came with the laptop.

If your hard drive is corrupted or physically broken, you will need a copy of the version of Windows that came with your machine. Any OEM copy should work because the license (key code) is in non-volitile memory.

If Acer still has the recovery disk for your model, they probably won't charge you more than ~ $25 for it so it may be worth it to get it. The Windows license is built into your laptop so you're not buying a new Windows license, just installation media for the license you already own.

If you want to do it manually, and have the model number of your laptop:

1. Search Acer's site for the drivers and utilities for your model, and download them, there. If they don't have all of them, search Google for your model number + drivers. Be careful to use reputable download sites to avoid malware.

2. Do your base Windows installation. Don't worry about activating it until you've installed your drivers because you won't be able to get online until you have a network connection. In fact, don't go online, at all, until you have installed your anti-virus, anti-spyware and any other security software you use.

3. Create a sub-folder in your Downloads folder, and copy all of the drivers you need to it. Then, you can conveniently install them from that folder.

That should get you to the point where your ready to go online, activate Windows and settle in for a long session of Windows updates.

Hope that helps. Good luck.
