Re-installing Win XP

[Cooter]

The time has come when I need to re-format my HD and re-install Windows.
Question: Will Windows Update go back and install all the patches, updates,
etc. that occurred between my original installation and now?

Thanks,
Cooter

Why do you *need* to do that?????

It's like demolishing your house and having it rebuilt every time you want
to redecorate.

Hi Cooter,

You will have to go to Windows update and re-download and install all of
your updates. Time consuming but, no problem, same as before.

LOL, JAX

With all due respect, I have my good reasons for "needing" to re-install.
I'd still like an answer to the original question.
