Just looking for a copy of the drivers installation disk
Ahh, fair dinkum. As far as I remember, which is back to Compaq, they never ship disks. My memory is often imperfect though but certainly mine came with none.

You can always download a copy of DriveMax and backup all your drives before you format your HD.
You can get a copy of DriveMax from download.com
I hope that helps

thanks but I don't need to back up I've already done that . The problem with formatting is reinstalling all the bits and bobs that we take for granted. ISP ,emails, bookmarks,photo editing software x2 , Video editing software x3office suite, corel suite ,CAD, winzip, adobe, etc etc etc takes about 5-6 hours work including configuring everything.
If the installation was any good I'd clone it with Ghost but it keeps BSOD
Drivers should all be listed on HP's website (you obviously have internet access ). You'll need the exact model number (G6000 is just the chassis number) which will be on a sticker on the underside. There may be a folder in your C: drive called 'Drivers', that would contain all the installation files for the original set of drivers.
There are very few PC'sNotebooks that come with Driver discs now, most require you to make a recovery disc when first set up but that wouldn't solve your issue anyway by the sounds of it.
TBH, once a machine starts to BSOD, you're looking a a full restore to make it stable again. The BS should tell you some of what the cause was, what does it say?
