Guest Grimy Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Hi there, I want to know whether I can use the XP SP2 CD I have (p/no. X10-80291), which if I remember rightly I received with a PC magazine back in '04 or '05, or does the CD E85-03129 that is the CD that Microsoft are sending out now have updates added since the earlier disc was made? I am helping a neighbour upgrade their PC and they are on dial-up, so the more there is on the CD the better. Thanks.

The 85+ post-SP2 updates however, those must be downloaded sometime if you plan on staying current. -) Make your own patch CD... Each month Microsoft releases that month's updates in ISO format: January 2006-current http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913086 If you are more trusting: AutoPatcher http://www.autopatcher.com/ Windows Updates Downloader http://wud.jcarle.com/ You can download each update manually - based off the KB Article number, etc. That way you can back it up/burn a CD of them in case you need them or use them to keep a slipstream/integrated (updated) Windows XP CD. How to use the Windows Update Catalog http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323166 (In order to use the Windows Update Catalog, you must use IE to get the patches..) Windows Update Catalog http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp (In order to use the Windows Update Catalog, you must use IE to get the patches..) Creating an Integrated Installation http://snipurl.com/el43 Integrate software updates into your Windows installation source files http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828930 Really customize your CD.. http://unattended.msfn.org/ Produce an up-to-date XP Distribution CD http://xpcreate.com/ AutoStreamer http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=223562 You can see the critical (security and other) patches released for a given month using the following: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms##-***.mspx At the end of this line you see "ms##-***.mspx" .. If you simply replace ## with the two-digit year and the *** with the three character month abbreviation, you will see the list of "critical" and "important" patches for that month (since it only happens once a month usually, if you check by the second Tuesday (wait until afternoon) of each month - you should be fine) - note that future months will not work. As an example... December 2004's patches.. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-dec.mspx March 2005's patches.. None released.. so that one will fail... May 2006's patches.. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-may.mspx January 2007's patches.. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-jan.mspx Once you get on the page with each month's list of patches.. You can go to the related KB articles and grab the appropriate files from there. Need Microsoft Office updates? http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/maincatalog.aspx Here's a list of updates from SP2 until about April 2007 to get you started...
