Hello, Team Group

I have XP Home OS. It will always automatic update going on.
now i decided to format my HDD, but before formating process
goes on, i want to save updated OS on a specific location.

time it will start from again begining. I want to avoid start to begining.

Can it possible to save specific location.

Kindly Help me.

The installed updates can not be saved for reuse.
But you can download the updates from the Windows Update Catalog, burn to CD
and reuse them all you like, #1 on this page:
