Parvez Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I wanted to do a clean reinstall on my Windows XP Home Edition but is it possible to backup the windows updates such as burn them in a cd and reinstall them after finishing the clean install on XP? Because it takes a long time to download those updates specially when using dialup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted October 14, 2005 Moderators Share Posted October 14, 2005 That'll only work if you've manually downloaded each and every update. You could try my approach which I did on my dial-up after reinstalling WinXP: 1. I first installed Windows XP Pro, and then I installed Windows XP Service Pack 2 which I had archived on a CD, and then all Microsoft software such as Office, etc. 2. I went to Microsoft Update and let it download all the updates while I was sleeping. When I woke up everything was downloaded and installed.

englishmen Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I customize my xp installation using nlite i also use RyanVm's Update pack which is a collection of all post sp2 hot fixes. As you are installing xp fresh you could just use nlite to integrate sp2 if you haven't already got a xpsp2 disc then integrate ryanvm's update that way when you install xp it is already up to date.
