564554 2007-06-30 02:42:00 I have to re-install Win2K pro (fully up-dated) but due to slow rural dial-up do not want to download all the up dates again.

Are the earlier downloads hidden on my existing HDD somewhere ?
If so, where do I find them and can I re-use them ?

TIA.
Phil.

What was installed before would have been extracted to the system folder most probably, but its not that easy to figure out what file does what.

Where in the country are u??

North/Sth Island?

564556 2007-06-30 02:54:00 Phil, if you want to wait a couple of days I can get for you a copy of Autopatcher 2000 (almost all know updates since W2k Service pack 4) as well as Service pack 4 for Windows 2000.

Assuming your in NZ of course.

Send me a PM if interested.

Speedy.....I haven't formatted yet. Am still struggling on the dodgy system.
I live 40K's south of Nelson, S Island.

Cheers, Phil.
