Could anyone tell me if there is a way to back up the XP service pack to a
CD-R as I am going to re-install XP & dont want to have to download it
again, as well as all the other fixes I have downloaded.

Thanx in advace

Tommy;
There is no way to back-up the installed Service Pack.

Download the Network Installation, burn to CD and save for when
needed:

Write the downloaded SP to the CD. After reinstalling XP load the SP from
the CD and reinstall.
