Unfortunately, I'm in a Rural Area with no High Speed available at
this time. I'm planning on Installing a New, Faster Mainboard on my
computer along with doing a drive change, meaning I have to
reinstall XP and when I count up the number of upgrades & patches
the amount of time it is going to take with a dial up connection is
ridiculous. I have a friend with High Speed and would like to use
his system to download all the 'fixes' and load them on a CD or DVD
and then install them on my computer. I have been unable to find a
site where the specific ones for XP-2 (in order) are listed. Any
help would be appreciated.
You can have your friend make you a CD with most if not all of the updates.
Microsoft does not provide such a list that I am aware of.
One site has a decently updated list:
http://www.msfn.org/board/HOTFIXES_Win2000_SP4_WinXP_SP2_Win200_t86450.html
Scroll down tothe part labeled:
"MS WINDOWS XP PRO SP2 - (81)"
You can order Windows XP Service Pack 2 on CD
http://snipurl.com/d41v
There are tools out there that can be used to get what you will need...
Example:
http://wud.jcarle.com/
Using that you can get all the updates you will likely need on your Windows
XP reinstall... Be sure you get the latest drivers for your hardware too
(belarc advisor, download it, run it, print out the results and give the
hardware section to your friend to make sure they get those for you too...)
Want to force your friend to do a bit more work?
Each month Microsoft releases that month's updates in ISO format - but they
*do not* go back as far as you might need.
January 2006-current
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913086
That would be one CD per month since January 2006. Provide that many + a few
to your friend if you plan to do it that way - and one just for SP2...

A little more work?
You can see the critical (security and other) patches released for a given
month using the following:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms##-***.mspx
At the end of this line you see "ms##-***.mspx" .. If you simply replace ##
with the two-digit year and the *** with the three character month
abbreviation, you will see the list of "critical" and "important" patches
for that month (since it only happens once a month usually, if you check by
the second Tuesday (wait until afternoon) of each month - you should be
fine) - note that future months will not work.
As an example...
December 2004's patches..
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-dec.mspx
March 2005's patches..
None released.. so that one will fail...
May 2006's patches..
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-may.mspx
January 2007's patches..
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-jan.mspx
Once you get on the page with each month's list of patches.. You can go to
the related KB articles and grab the appropriate files from there.
Even more effort?
Here's a list through about April of this year - choose to go
to the IT Professional link if given the option.
