Hi Scott,

Something else I use which you might want to try.

You can download the updates from Windows Catalog to your Hard Drive and
install them from there.

Go to the update sight and sellect "Personalize Windows Update"

Select to have the catalog added to See Also, Than access the catalog and
download the updates you need, and save them to a drive other than your
system drive or burn them into a cd.

I'm trying to download the SP1a to CD so that I can
reformat my HD.
I have broadband, but my broadband supplier suggests
loading SP1a before I use the broadband. I already had
SP1a loaded previously but wish to be able to upload from
CD once I have reformated.
How do I do this, all the sites I have looked at want to
automatically install the SP, not save to CD.
Please help.

Go here http://www.autopatcher.com/WebAPXP.htm and you'll be able to
download SP1a and all other updates patchs, fixes, etc.
