Downloading XP's updates on W2K

Is there a way I can download XP's updates on my W2K pc (as in to save to a location)? my XP computer is out of commision from the internet for a bit and was wondering if this was possible to download on my secondary pc. So I can then burn to CD and place on my XP pc.

Try this and see if it works.

1. Goto the update site
2. Check personlize Windows update
3. Select Windows Catalog then click save (wording might be a little different because I’m using a Spanish version of Windows.
4. Now Select Windows Catalog from the Left.
5. Then select your OS and download upates.

I have noticed that not all updates are there but you can find most.

Thx. I didn't think they would fit all the updates in a 1mb file. I was used to the scan for update feature and ran into other territory when I tried searching before.

I will scope out the comment above after work as well.
