Or you could use a Windows install medium which already contains the updates. When it comes to XP it's even more fun when it doesn't have the service packs on disc already. Question is why you wouldn't be using a newer install disc...and don't have the specific drivers needed available...

It really isn't any different from using a x year old Ubuntu install disc and then waiting ages for it to update during and after install and finding out your specific hardware is obscure and/or plain driverless (I'm looking at you crappy HP Mini netbook >:|. )
HP.... managed to make drivers of 300+ megabytes when 1-4 gb harddrives were common. And even today, they manage to make I5 computers crawl because of their useless pre-installed bloatware.
