    Hi, my computer (acer Aspire 1644ZQLMi) recently got demolished by the virtumonde virus, so i did a forced format and installed XP back on it, but now i have no drivers, and i can't seem to find them seeing as my notebook came with no CDs (i had to borrow an XP cd). My brother has the exact same model but he still has all the original drivers on it. So i guess first of all:
    is there a way to copy the drivers from the other computer to this one? or
    where can i find out what drivers i need and where to get them without a CD?

    thanks

    I would look on Acer's website to see if you can find your drivers there first.
