Windows Patches Backup
Hi
Did you use Windows Update to download and apply the Critical, Windows XP and Driver Updates? If you did I am pretty sure that the downloaded files are not in a suitable place to be saved and re-applied if you need to re-install Windows. As I mentioned in an earlier post the vast majority of Windows XP patches are available in Service Pack 1, this may be downloaded in its entirety but you may also be able to find it on PC magazine cover mount CD’s.
The only sure way to preserve the Windows XP with patches is to backup everything.
We will look into this further but it will take a few days.
