Can someone please let me know, whether it is possible to save all the updates found in Windows Update for a future installation? For me, maybe it's not a problem downloading all the updates all over again every time I format my drive because I'm on DSL, but many on my friends are still on dial-up. And it's very difficult for them to download >20MBs.

Thanks.

You can order service pack cd's from MS. In Canada they charge $15 for service pack cd's.
