- Drive detectors
You can use Device Doctor for this. This is a free Windows app that scans your computer hardware and checks for any new driver updates available for your computer or device. It also locates drivers for unidentified devices in the Windows Device Manager.
Once you click Begin Scan, Device Doctor queries its manufacturer driver database and immediately fetches the correct driver files for your computer or device.
It updates drivers for over 13 million individual devices and computers, with more added every week. Other features include consistent updates (including new driver versions soon as they’re released), future proof with Windows versions and 64-bit support, offline scans, and it provides device names for unknown devices before updating drivers.
To use it, you need your Windows XP and 10 MB available hard drive space.
