[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 50112, member: 175235"] Good news that your system is all clean now! The system volume info files are indeed windows restore points and disabling system restore would have removed all of them - saving you some time. Windows Updates are stored in folders called WUTemp (normally in root of C:) but they are only stored there temporarily, when the updates are installed they should be automatically deleted. Even if you copied the files before they were deleted, I am not sure how, of even if, they would manually install on another XP installation (without going through windows update page). Big updates like SP1 can be completely downloaded from the MS website and installed from a file, that way you can install it several times on several machines without having to re download it, but I am not sure if the small updates can also be done that way. But as you have already got them installed on one XP system and it would mean downloading them again it doesn’t really help you much anyway. [/QUOTE]
