hummm can any one tell me where are windows updates and hotfixes stored????????
is it possible to save them and use after reinstallation OS?

AFAIK d win update files get directed to their respective destinations and become part of d OS

dont think it is possible to revrse d process, you will have to download d patches manually. and anyway a patch may fix many issues.

there was a thread in the forum abt this. i cant seem to find it now. windows stores updates in the C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder. u could try backing it up, but ii am not sure whether it will work.
