My hard drive is getting a bit messed up with unnecessary files and I think I have deleted some necessary registry files, so I think I might reformat my hard drive. So I am just wondering how often do you reformat your hard drive
?

the windows update files are stored locally in a folder in your c drive.

If you've used the WU update site for 'normal' users, then I don't think you'll be able to save the files to CD and have the updates on CD as easy as that.Originally posted by Merethrond
Also, when I reformat my hard drive, is there any way I can put my Windows Updates on a CD so I don't have to re-download them?
I had a friend who had to format every 2 days or so, because I would keep giving him the (Codename:Millennium) Windows ME beta builds, ROFL!Originally posted by Jeo
Every day
Thanks Huy, I will do that from now onOriginally posted by Huy
If you need to patch multiple systems, or have the install files ready for distribution over a LAN, or you'd rather visit the WU site once for all patches, then I suggest the WU corporate website.
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp?corporate=true
You can then download all your patches, save them to CD and have them ready when you re-format/reinstall windows.
