Can I save Win98 drivers to disk?

Hi,
My Dad's old laptop (a Fujitsu) is in need of a Windows 98 re-install.
However I do not have the inital restore disk (will use another 98 disk) and
I do not have confidence I can find all of the original drivers on the
internet.
Is there a way of copying all of the installed drivers onto another drive
and allowing the Windows 98 to install them from that disk if required? My
assumption is that some drivers need an install program?
Thanks.
 
No matter what flavor Windows, you can't "copy off and copy back"
drivers as a method of installation. Find the originals or replace the
hardware.
 
Thanks Bob,
Often, when installing HW, it seems that it is difficult to determine if
a driver is the 'right' one before simply trying it. Is there a way of
printing the identiy (checksum for example) of the drivers or is it just a
case of finding one by one and test loading them?
Thanks.

For laptops, you're going to need the drivers for that specific laptop
model from the laptop mftr. Laptops usually have proprietary hardware.
Google for Win98 drivers for your Dad's Fujitsu model.
