I am having to reinstall W2K onto my machine. I have a W2K disc with SP1 on and have downloaded & installed SP2 to 4 as released. If I now put W2K back I will revert to SP1 and lose SP2 to 4. Is there any way I can back these up onto CD without having to download them all again. I only have 56K dial up connection which ISP automatically disconnects after 2 hours would therefore have to download each SP individually rather than all in one go.
 
What's wrong with the machine as it is and why are you reinstalling?

And don't worry about SP4...it's an evil you can live without.

I am having to reinstall because I have developed a problem with Internet Explorer. I cannot connect to internet. Having read various threads on browser issues I am certain it is a winsock problem and have been told only cure is to re format and re install. I am getting a SHOCK/DNS error page. I have upgraded from 5.5 to 6.0, tried removing and reinstalling TCP/IP but still no sucess so reinstallation is last resort. If there is another way I am willing to try.

 
This utility is an effective way to repair Winsock service issues, and certainly a lot easier than re-installing. Note: reinstalling IE would have no effect on your Winsock service entries. Use the utility:
At least after the utility you can rule out Winsock issues as the cause.
