You could make a customized Windows installation DVD/USB/whatever with the drivers already added :]

its meaningless if you end up reinstalling the drivers because they're outdated ::)

How often do you update the drivers for your LAN port?

Better yet, why not just archive the driver installer beforehand?

Another thing. There was a topic here in bbt on how do you store your downloads. I was amazed that some people here use HDDs and not optical media. You can't do that now, the warranty period before was 5 years and now it's only 2 years plus HDDs today are getting inferior they break in a matter of time. Maybe it's easy to replace for a new one but the trouble is not worth.
