Don't know how Vista does it but with XP
those are (AFAIK) simply the installed drivers on your machine.


If you want all the drivers there are in XP...

on your installation cd you can look in the two driver cab folders


(one is for modems...the other is for all the rest)

Also: If you want to use those drivers you will also need the .inf files


on your XP cd they are listed as .in_ and will need to be expanded
