Downloading all service packs and critical patch

M

Manoj

Hi

I want to download all the service pack and critical patch
for XP and burn it on CD. I don't have highspeed
connection at my home so that i can install them again.
Presently I have all the latest patch, but i want to
reinstall XP on my machine and hence i will have to
reinstall all the patches again.

I tried on microsoft website for ordering CD, but the site
indicates that CD has Sp1a dated Feb 2003. Many of the
patches came later.

Does anyone has an idea how to download and burn it on CD

Thanks in advance

Manoj

"You can download critical ones from Windows Update: on the left select
Windows Update Catalog, then the 'updates for operating systems', then
OS, Critical Updates and click the Add against each to add to a Download
basket. Put the .exe files in a folder of their own to keep safe.

But you cannot get recommended ones that way. A way around is to clear
Temp Internet files (for convenience) before getting updates, and then
when downloaded and installed, but before rebooting, copy the downloaded
..exe files from TIF to a safe place"
