windows update refusing downloads

Hello,

I am having a lot of trouble with this ...so would really appreciate some
help.

I want to download all the hotfixes since I installed XP/sp1 ( to slipstream
them) but when I try to get them from windows update it refuses. The
windowsupdate.log says that it's because I already have the updates(true).

If I can't download updates to disk that I already have installed then how
can I remove the ones I have or get rid of wherever XP keeps a record of this
stuff ?

Thanks

Manually download individual updates from the Catalog and save to be
installed later.

Click Add button for each update you want to download. Once you have what
you want, Click the “Go To Download Basket� link. Type in or browse to the
location where you want the updates saved to and then Click the “Download
Now� button.
Once downloaded, you can then burn them to CD.

How to download updates and drivers from the Windows Update Catalog or from
the Microsoft Update Catalog
