474369 2006-07-28 08:45:00 From a slipstreamed Windows 2000 CD??

If so, what folder/file would I go into / run?

I havent got the separate SP4 install file, only a CD thats got SP4 on a slipstreamed CD.

I cant reinstall without reformatting, since the system has SP1 on it. I just want to update it to SP4.

And I dont want to format it, since its not my notebook.

I'm fixing it for someone

Any info welcome :)

474371 2006-07-28 08:54:00 Well, since I'm on dialup and the file is round 129mb, and its nearly 8 pm.

I do want to go to bed tonight, and dont want to leave this on.

474372 2006-07-28 08:55:00 The complete SP4 can be downloaded here (129MB):
www.softwarepatch.com

The download from MS seems to be only a 600KB file which decides what needs to be downloaded online, not the full package.

474373 2006-07-28 08:56:00 I know u can download it, but as in my previous post, its 129mb and I'm on dialup. Speedy Gonzales (78)
474374 2006-07-28 08:58:00 That is a pretty good reason not to download it. Have you hunted around your computer magazines cover disks to see if one of them have it? Jen (38)
474375 2006-07-28 08:59:00 SG > maybe ask a PressF1 member who has broadband & they might be happy enough to download it for you & post the cd to you? stu161204 (123)
474376 2006-07-28 09:02:00 Speedy, I think I stil have SP4 on disk somewhere in my room...

PM me if you want a copy...

474377 2006-07-28 09:11:00 If the notebook can get onto internet via your dial up connection then you could download the 600KB SP4 express file from Microsoft and get the required update files online. They wont come to anywhere near 129MB probably only around 15-20MB. That wouldn't be so bad.

I wish it could, but it doesnt have ethernet lol . I thought it did, but it doesn't .

So, the only way it'll get on the net, is if I connect it directly to the phoneline . Which at the mo, no can do .

The flatmate is playing online canasta, and wld most probably kill me if I decide to cut her off :lol:
