How to restart Windows XP SP1 update?
Update failed due to laptop battery dying 10 mins in (thought it was on mains, socket was switched off - D'oh).
Now the update is not shown on the critical updates, nor is it listed in Add/Remove. How do I clear what it has done so far to start over?
Can't use System Restore as it was switched off.

Assuming you had an 's' too many, I can connect to windowsupdate.microsoft.com, which takes me to http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp. From there I can scan for updates, but the one I want is not listed (it's usually the first one)
Don't know how to find the update manually (if such a method exists)

how big is SP1? it's probably included on a magazines cover cd in a shop if the download is massive.
