Vista Basic x32 sp2.

In checking my installed updates I have found that many were installed on 9/29/2009.
This is correct because I formatted my HD and installed Vista Basic with SP1 on that date.
But, I find that KB935509 and KB937287 are showing install dates of 1/20/2008.

How can these 2 updates show install dates prior to the date I formatting my HD??

The updates were most likely preinstalled by the OEM before you purchased your computer (which, one assumes, was sometime after 20 Jan-08). When you reinstalled Windows, the updates were also reinstalled.

I purshsed this computer in 2001.
I replaced the HD in 2006.
Where are these updates stored?

The 20 Jan-08 "installed-date" is misleading in this context. "Vista...with SP1" (AKA Vista SP1) wasn't released to manufacturing until 04 February 2008. The updates were included in/part of your Vista SP1 (OEM) installation CD.

I bought this laptop in April 2004: It came with WinXP SP1 preinstalled but it has some updates & files with "installed" or "created on" dates going back to 2002.
