Re: How to save updates

Run your computer so that you NEVER need to re-install the OS. Why do you do
that? Where are you getting all the bugs?

Running an Intel Conroe Extreme and Windows XP Pro. That's very fast but
my
internet connection is Extremely Slow.

My OS and programs are on hard drive partition C: My Documents are on
partition D:

When the system gets full of bugs and slows down, it's quick and simple to
wipe partition C: and reinstall the OS and the other programs, but I just
spent three hours finding and installing all my program updates from the
internet. (I use automatic updates so my system is always up to date)

My Question:

Is there some way I can transfer all these updates already on my
computer (for my OS and all my other programs) to a CD and save them
before I
wipe the partition, then after I reinstall the OS and all the other
programs,
just reinstall all the updates from the CD?

Seems like there should be a way to save those updates to a CD and install
them in ten minutes, rather than spending hours finding them and
downloading
them again from the internet.

Any advice in this regard will be appreciated.
