I assume that you want to have a backup of the drivers for your PC so that you have them should you need to install them at a later date.
First, you need to inventory the hardware on the PC.
You can use Belarc advisor from www.belarc.com
or Sandra from sisoft to aid in generating a list.
If you do not have driver disks for all of your hardware, the best thing to do is to download the latest drivers from each manufactures web site.
Copy these files onto a CD if possible, as many are much larger than what will fit on a floppy.
Most driver downloads are compressed. Some are zip archives, others are self extracting.
I usually unzip the driver files when I create a driver disk. And create a seperate folder on the disk for each device.

Here is a simple backup you could try:
Open win.explorer,click tab Tools,go to Folder
Option,click tab View,click show all hidden files
folders.
Then go to C:\Windows\*INF\Other
Here u can locate all system device driver from
your pc.Copy it to any backup folder
Next you can use these as your backup device
driver to reinstall your new OS.
Have a nice day!
