Is there a way to download the critical updates so I can copy onto a disk

Yes. You need to get the updates from the Windows
Catalog. First go to the Windows Update site. On the left
of the window you will see a section marked Other
Options. Click on Personalise Windows Updates. Place a
check mark in the option marked 'place a linf to the
windows update catalog'
You should now see, under the section on the left of the
screen marked 'see also' the windows update catalog link.
Now click on this link. This will take you to the update
catalog. In the catalog update window click on the option
marked'find updates for microsoft windows operating
systems' When the search window appears select your
operating system from the list provided and then press
the search button. The next screen will show you how many
updates are available depending upon the category, i.e.,
critical updates, additional windows updates and multi
language. Click on the critical update option and this
will display a list of updates. All you need do now is,
either download them individually or download a bunch at
a time. Unless you have a multilingual version of xp you
shouldn't need to download any multi language updates.

Hope this help
