If you set it to back up while doing a service pack install you'll find it
under the root
directory of your windows install directory (usually WINNT). The directory that
it's in will
be something like $NtServicePackUninstall$. It's a compressed directory.
It should be safe to delete but the files don't take up that much space
(especially as they
are compressed) so you won't be reclaiming a lot of space. On my system the
files take
up around 160 megs.
