    Hi Paul,

    In Windows 7 all the drivers will be in subfolders located in the system folders. Please follow the steps below to save the drivers onto a storage device:

    1. Choose a storage device for backing up your drivers.
    2. Locate the driver on your computer by following the path:

                 %SystemRoot%\System32\ and %systemroot%\inf\

    1. Copy the driver file onto the storage device by simply clicking on the icon for your driver file and dragging it to the location of your storage device.

    You can also go ahead and download the drivers from the Toshiba Website and save it on an External

    device or flash drive. Please refer the link below to download the drivers:

    Hope this helps to back up the drivers before installing Windows 7, if you are not able to backup, or for any Windows related queries, please feel free to post. We will be glad to assist.
