I dont think you can backup updates, the need to be exacuted threw windows updater and it wont accept them off your HD or disk or whatever. Whats the problem with redownloading them? MS will mail you a copy of SP2 on a disk, the rest are small and easy to download. Ghost is a option but not a solution

There probably is some way, but it wouldn't be easy. Its probably easiest to simply make a new XP installation CD using Nlite and install all the updates thereon. http://www.nliteos.com/ worked well for me and allows you to preinsatll updates onto the installation CD.

If you are serious about this, give it a try. You need your original windows CD to create the new one, I don't know if it woudl work using an OEM "Recovery Disk". It probably wouldn't work with one of the ones that is simply an image of the HDD as supplied new from the manufacturer.
