Hi guys,
I will install windows Vista Ultimate that I currently use on my old HDD to an new HDD.
I do have the Vista SP 1 stand-alone version (complete download). But is there any way by which I can copy or preserve the Auto Updates that my current Vista installation has downloaded and can install those on the new installation ?

Nope. You'll have to download and install all over again. You can try www.autopatcher.com for simplifying that process.
