Win2K Hotfixes Not In SP2

[Spinicus]

Does anyone know of anywhere to find Win2K hotfixes that weren't included in SP2 but are suspected to be included in SP3? I'm looking specifically for hotfixes relating to knowledge base articles:
- (Q281672) Possible Data Loss Due To Write Caching Being Enabled
- (Q290757) Write Cache Settings Don't Persist After Restart

I know that I could go through MS Support to get these, but I don't want to go through the red-tape if I don't have to.

I'd appreciate any info you guys can throw my way...

That's absolutely awesome Doreen! Thank you very, very much for the information. I'm downloading as we speak...

BTW, Do you have any ideas about the Q290757 hotfix? I know that with the Q281672 hotfix, it shouldn't matter if I have the other one...but I'm curious none the less.

Thanks again Doreen. This is very cool.

I have a need for this too on a system we just built, where the registry entries are getting corrupted at shutdown. the hard drive can't write fast enough before the CPU powers down the system.
Unfortunately it appears that the passwords you posted are out of date. Do you have the latest to unzip the file.
Thanks much
