A couple of questions about formating

SunstrandSunstrand Registered User regular
Hey guys, I'm about to format my main drive and change a couple of the partitions and had a couple of questions. I'm still using Vista 64bit btw.

1. Can I download, and store the windows updates on a different drive before I format? I ask because it would be nice to multitask and get that out of the way while I make some other backups.

2. I have already downloaded my gpu drivers, microsoft's antivirus, itunes, firefox, the newest direct x, PhysX, my onboard sound and Lan drivers, and a couple other programs. I am just curious to see if I have forgotten anything important?

If you guys have any other tips or suggestions they would also be welcomed.
