    If you chose manual installation, it should just be in your download location. If you did it automatically through windows update (like you stated), then I don't actually know where it is. :eek:
    However, here is the direct download for SP1 at microsoft. If you need the 64-bit version, it's here. After you download it, just burn it to disc. :)
