Question : How do I uninstall unsigned system drivers

I wish to do an in place upgrade of a server 2003 Standard R2 machine to Server 2008 Standard R2. However the Compatibility report states that I need to Uninstall an unsigned system driver first.


Uninstall these unsigned system drivers:
Program: Symantec Volume Snapshot Provider
Publisher: Symantec Corporation
Path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\vsp.sys

The only Symantec software installed on this machine is the "backup exec" backup agent which I uninstalled using the add remove programs wizard. but this driver still remains. How do I go about uninstalling this driver correctly so I don't break anything?

Thanks

Answer : How do I uninstall unsigned system drivers

In my case VSP.sys is a system file that is replaced by a modified version when the backup exec agent is installed, to make windows happy, and still be able to boot the machine I uninstalled the backup exec agent, but this leaves the modified version of the vsp.sys file in place. so I then replaced the vsp.sys file with a clean original version of it and this seems to have worked. not sure if its recommended, but so far so good.
