If you go the the Microsoft Download site, you can manually download all upgrades and patches for your OS. Then you can burn them to CD (assuming you have a CD burner). It would also be a good idea to save all your driver files (eg video card drivers, audio card, LAN, etc). That way, every time you need to re-install your OS, you have all the required files to get your system back up and running again.

I believe "Leon the Pro" was asking if he could download and save on a CD the updates/patches for Final Fantasy XI.
If thats the case, not having played it I don't know. I do know that for Anarchy Online you could download a backup of the patch(es) into a backup folder, maybe FFXI has an option like that? Then you could copy the backup folder onto a CD.
