Question by The[[McCallister]]Project: Can I burn a sound driver to a disk from my laptop to install it on my desktop computer?
My laptop computer is a dell, and I have the “drivers and utilities” disk for it, but it wont work for my desktop because my desktop computer is a really old gateway. Im wondering if I can download sound drivers onto a disk from my laptop, and take it to my desktop and intall it that way, because I get no internet on my desktop computer. And if I can, anyone know how, and what a good website would be for that, to download the drivers onto the disk?

Absoluley you can. Just goto the site where your sound card drivers are from Gateway, put it on a flash frive, hard drive or CD. Then put it onto your laptop and done! Very easy.

    Go to gateway website and download your desktop drivers from there. Transfer it using a flash/usb drive or burn the files into a CD using your CD/DVD writer if you have on your laptop.

    You’ll need to go to gateway’s site and download appropriate drivers for the hardware in your desktop. You can then copy those to a disc and take it to the desktop, yes.

    gateway.com is the place to go for these drivers.

    Like everyone else mentioned yes. You can use a flash drive to transfer or just ask a friend before you buy one. But a transfer cable is a good solution. Or this final solution can help you. But you can buy a Wi-Fi Antenna “usb or PCI’ and detect a network with your desktop. I use that procedure with my old gateway. Using an old Belkin 802.11g-54 Mbps USB antenna. Good-luck.

    use your laptop t go to gateway and search for the drivers free download. Now if you want to know what sound chip onboard or pci or isa card go to start, click on programs, click on accessories, click on system tools click on system information, click on components click on sound card it will give you the name of the sound, then go to driverguide.com and get the drivers also while you are in system info
    read the first page that comes up and it will give operating system comp model number and every thing you need to know. almost better than sandra. you can find this info easier than this just click start, click on run type in sysinfo take you same place tell you the same but quicker, also for the answer team sandra is a diagnostic program just if there is a question about my morals,”again”
