How to Download Windows Update ?

Enter the name of the Update and download it.

Of course you first need to know which Updates you need. ;)

As for incorporating them into a Install Disc just use nLite available free here

You need to start with the system running before you reload it.

Open Windows Update select Custom and then on the bottom of the page look at your Update History.

Make a list of the Updates Applied and then go to the M$ Download site and download them all. There are lots of them in the Hundreds of Meg Size. as XP has been around for a very long time.

That's the only way to proceed here.

Don't forget that for full security updates you need to look at a number of Microsoft tools and add-ons.

Internet Explorer. Which version will you finalize on and just get the updates for that version.

Direct X

Windows Media Player.

Net Framework, Visual Basic and Visual C runtime libraries, Data Access Objects, the list goes on.

Then, on the second Tuesday of each month, expect more new updates until support for XP ends in 2014.

Another thing to watch for is that some updates supersede older updates. You only need the latest version.
