Yeah.. I just wanted to demonstrate how it works when you have the previous patched files already on your drive. This way you can avoid having to download all that crap again after you install. Some people are having issues staying connected through the long download process. With a little advanced preparation, you can bypass most of that downloading--but it will require a lot of space to backup all the data.
