once a windows 2000 service pack ( sp1,sp2,sp3 or sp4)
is installed, it is part of the OS 100 %.
there is no need to reinstall it.
I always slipstearm it, then make a bootable CD because of this.
the other smaller hotfix's are NOT the same.
i would use the hotfix checker to see what needs to be reinstalled
