My HD is failing, and I'll be getting a new one. For me the most annoying
part of reinstalling Windows is downloading all the updates and the numerous
restarts.

The WindowsXP installation disk I have includes SP1a.

My question is, once I install Windows, can I simply install the Update
Rollup (826939)? It seems straight forward, but in my experience nothing is
ever that easy, so I was just wondering if anyone has done this and
everything went smoothly.

Thank you!
 
Greetings.

I thought of doing that, or one of the other methods for transferring data
from an old HD to a new one, but I think I would rather just do a complete
reinstall.

Mostly because I suspect that there might be some problems with the current
installation, due to (I think) corruption problems from the failing HD. I
know that since the last time I reinstalled Windows, I have been having some
trouble with the USB ports and drivers, which I did not originally have
before.

In any event, thank you for taking the time to respond!
