It is useful for grabbing a backup of drivers if OS reinstallation is needed and you can't remember where all the original driver files or disks are...
Regards,
Galapo.
the main idea of DriverPacks is slipstreaming drivers into an OS installation.
if i understand the tool you describe above correctly.
it makes copies of drivers on an existing system and it makes that copy on the local HDD.
That is not very useful:
what if the HDD driver is the one that is blown up?
what if the existing driver was the problem to begin with?
If my driver is blown up first thing i am going to do is get the newest one available from the net.
In my experience if a driver is blown up i have a virus or a bad hdd
it is very rare a driver will become corrupted and even more rare that simply re-installing the original driver is the fix.
the only scenario where i think this may help is if the NIC driver were to become corrupt. that is a very small window of opportunity for this tool to be useful.
Thanks for your continued input here at DriverPacks.

I have to agree with Bâshrat the Sneaky in the other thread this is not something that I personally will be adding.
