Thanks for the quick reply!

But... The CD is 6 months old, and it takes 2-4 weeks to
get. What if my new hard drive decides to crash tomorrow?
Another 1-1/2 days downloading and virus killing. Man.
Down time costs money!

I would respectfully recommend that Microsoft consider
this matter, and create a way to expedite the update
process.
