How can I make a Vista SP1 duplicate?

[Dumb Bunny]

After VISTA SP1 has been automatically installed on my computer is there any
way I can retrieve the file again from my HD and burn it to a CD for use on
my wife's computer?

Probably not. If instead you would have went to the Microsoft site and
just download the executable SP1 file then yes since at that point it
is such another file. Which of the many components gets installed
depends on the system it is installed on. So what your system might
have needed and got changed may be very different that what your
wife's computer might have benefited from.
