Can I download DELLS Drivers and instal them after after cleaninstall

Dasha,

You do not reply to me. You post in the thread as you have done.
- If you want to make it clear who you are addressing you can just start a post or a para within it with Try3, or similar.

You can quote all or part of what somebody else has posted but you must also write something before or after the quote.
- Your screenshot shows that you had not written anything before or after the quote
- You had tried to write something within the text and that almost always ends up being unintelligible.

If you want to split the quote up so you can respond to individual parts of it then notice that the quote starts with, for example, [QUOTE=Dasha;2153652] and ends with [/QUOTE]
- You can copy the [QUOTE=Dasha;2153652] ... [/QUOTE] into new lines then cut & paste the relevant text between those markers.
- The =Dasha part of the code causes "Dasha said" to appear at the start of the quote.
- The ;number part of the code identifies the post from which the quote is taken and makes the right-angled arrow appear - this arrow is a link back to the quoted post.
- You can also use [QUOTE] ... [/QUOTE] without any attribution and this can be handy if you have lots of individual bits to quote
- When you do manipulate [QUOTE=Dasha;2153652] ... [/QUOTE] manually, you'll find it very easy to accidentally cut out a ] or a [ or a [/ which will corrupt the layout so it is always worth editing complex posts like that using the "Go advanced" button so you can check a preview of the post before you post it.

I do not know what

Dasha said:

Partitions FF / GG / HH / II

means.

You need to specify a path for the driver backup. I told you what I used but you do not have to do the same.
- I include the computer name in the path because I backup all my computers to the same external drives and I want to keep each one separate there.
- It's up to you but I don't see any benefit in including the name of the external drive in the path. It just does not seem significant.

Best of luck,
Denis

The process is:

• Open an elevated command prompt
• type: dism /online /export-driver /destination:"PATH" - where PATH is the location you want to put the files.

So if you want to put the files in: E:\InstallFiles\Computer1\InstalledDrivers
then you would type : dism /online /export-driver /destination:"E:\InstallFiles\Computer1\InstalledDrivers" and press ENTER.

If you wanted to put the files in: F:\InstallFiles\ToshibaExHDD_FF\Drivers Backup
then you would type: dism /online /export-driver /destination:"F:\InstallFiles\ToshibaExHDD_FF\Drivers Backup" and press ENTER.

Just some answers to you thank you all "this is good stuff

Gidday. All I have the Re bootable USB ready
Can I Boot up from a standing start? My PC has crashed I have no Keyboard or Wireless mouse, I tried a wired keyboard and two Wireless keyboards nothing during the Keyboard Swapping' I went back and forward etc I could not believe it could happen, in doing so I removed replaced the Logitec unifying Software Dongles x 3 and when I tried to put them back Logitec told me in a pop up that I had too many and just use one and take the rest out' any way 3 hour's later my son came in and asked me what I was roaring about and why the 3 dongles were siting in the litle box on the desk' and I told him and he fixed it and that was that?

6 times I boted up to the password screen? unpluged from the wal tried all that but cannot type the password in and now the On Scren keyboard has gone cannot go forwards or back
SoI did not get to backup the. Old drivers
I found that DELL support new drivers I have a list BUT PC crashed before I had a chance to get them

all my stuff is safely backed up on my Ex HDD and Google -- Drive cloud

Have spent 2 days trying to get in I even got onscreen Keyboard up but-when the mouse quit it’s no good' Can I just boot from the Bootable USB is there any other way.? Or will just insert the USB and hope ? I can think of nothing else
I’m useing Int my wife’s IPad" its a dogs breakfast. DASHA continues at next post









Dasha

Dasha,

You can boot from the InstallUSB then, instead of Install now, choose Repair your computer.

Have a nose around its menus & try Startup repair if you are having boot problems.

You can also use its command prompt to nose around your disks and backup anything not already done.
my ditty - Use InstallUSB Notepad as a rudimentary file explorer - TenForums

I'm not at all clear about what your symptoms are. It's difficult to follow your post.
- Please would you describe exactly what happens when you boot normally.
- I agree with keeping things simple by using wired keyboard [& mouse if you can find one].

Denis

Thanks Denis i have re drafted the post above and I will start again tomorow the Elevated Comm failed again I think its the Gaps between the slashers in the Tutorial I have put it in a Scr clip I wil be back tomorow Cheers Dasha

Dasha,

- I can't spot the changes in the 'redraft'

- Your illustrations show that you have now been able to log in to a user account on your computer. So you solved the sign-in problem.

- The command, as illustrated, contains numerous errors. You need

Code:

dism /online /export-driver /destination:"F:\InstallFiles\Drivers backup"

Just copy & paste that into an elevated command prompt.


Denis

Denis I was about to give up and reply to you but I just found that only ONE of the Files have Command Prompt Administrator at the top of them? It had Failed too but I think its the PC everything is sticking, stopping, the screen looks like a Disco every time I push a Key it loks like Dark Mode? I followed the Tutorial for Comm Prompt but it only worked in one and that failed They all failed" so I am going to have a breather and I will get it all together tomorow. I dont know what I will do, but if it's like I think it may be I will skip saving the old drivers. I just did another E C P and same old Error 87 so you can't do anymore Mate' and I have no hope. Mayby I need to change the wording in the script to Back Up Folder?
I am Reg as C\DAZZLER Main Admin etc on this PC so it should have been ok for the Elevated Command

Dasha,

Just in case this statement was indicating a problem

- an Admin account only exerts its Admin privileges after clicking Yes on the Admin prompt.


- For all other jobs, an Admin user has no more privileges than a Standard user.

Please test this -

- Click on the Start button,
- Scroll down to the Windows system entry and click on that to expand it,
- Right-click on the Command prompt entry,
- Hover over More,
- Select Run as Admin.

Then the Admin prompt will appear,

- you click on the Yes button, and
- the Command prompt will open with the word Administrator in its TitleBar.
- If it does then it should respond correctly to the command

Code:

dism /online /export-driver /destination:"F:\InstallFiles\Drivers backup"

as long as the path "F:\InstallFiles\Drivers backup" actually exists.

If the Admin prompt demands a password from you then the user account you are logged into is not an Admin one.

Denis

I have used the term "Admin prompt" because everybody else does. I did not think now would be a suitable time to start using the correct yet hardly-known terms - ConsentUI, CredentialUI, ElevationUI, Secure Desktop dialog.

Thanks Denis I did not know about that Admin thing, see you tomorow Dasha
