I just installed SP1a for Win XP Home.
Is it possible to back up the setup file?
I am on dial-up and in case I need a re-install I do not want to go through
downloading 30 Mb again.
If it is possible, could anyone explain how to do it ?
Thanks.

30MB? You did the Express install then.

No way to back up that version, but ...

SP1a
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/sp1lang.asp
(134 MB | 5.5 hours @ 56K | 11 minutes @ T1)

For all other patches/updates:

You can save a lot of time/space getting SP1a and then the SP1 rollup
package...

Download the Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows XP from here:
