I am going to reformat my computer. I want to know if I can burn the windows updates on disk so I do not need to download them again. I have a 56k connection so it will take a long time for me to get all the updates. As of right now I have the latest updates and want to know where they are located on my machine. Thanks for any advice!
 
They are the blue colored folders under c:\Windows.

But I suspect if you just used the Windows Update service you are out of luck.

Directly download the "rollup" packages, as this will help:


You still will need DirectX9.0b, and Service Pack1a, both found easily on the Windows Update Catalogue site.

You can order on CD without charge the Security hotfixes and patches to IE and OE through late October, 2003:
