This scan is what consumes the majority of the time taken when performing a full format. If there are errors on a disk at the physical level, it's best to catch them now rather than later. Wait for the format to complete. The system will now format the partition. The length of time this process requires depends on the speed and size of the drive. In general, the larger the partition, the longer the process will take.
Wait for the Setup files to copy. Windows will now start copying files from the installation disc and prompt you to reboot the computer when the process is completed.
Allow the computer to boot normally. You will see the message asking you to press a key to boot from CD. Ignore it and allow the computer to continue booting from the hard drive.
You will see the Windows logo as the Setup program loads. Wait for the installation to proceed. After the Windows logo goes away, you will see a list of steps remaining on the left side of the screen, and tips for using windows on the right. The time remaining for the installation will be displayed below the list of steps remaining. It is normal for the screen to flicker, turn on and off, or resize during this process.
Choose your language and region settings. During the installation process a dialog window will appear, asking you to choose your Regional settings. Select appropriate settings native to your area.
Click the Next button when that is completed. Enter your full name if you want. Enter your Product Key. You will not be able to complete the installation process without a valid Product Key. Click "Next" to continue. Some versions of Windows will not ask for the Product Key until installation is complete.
This will be the name that represents the computer on a network. Windows sets a default name, but you can change it if you would like. You can also set a password for the Administrator account. This is optional, but recommended for public computers. Select your time zone. Choose your network settings.
If you are installing Windows XP in a corporate or academic environment, check with the system administrator, though Typical Settings will most likely work. You can typically leave the workgroup name set to default. Wait for the installation to finalize.
This will only take a few minutes, and the computer will reboot when it is finished installing. Once the computer reboots, you will be taken to the Windows XP desktop. At this point, installation is complete, though there are a few things left to do before Windows is completely usable.. Part 3. Set your display preferences. Once Windows loads, you will be told that Windows will automatically configure your display.
Click OK to start the configuration. Your screen will flash a couple times, and then you will be asked if you can read the box that appears.
Set your connection preferences. If your computer is connected to the internet, select your connection type. Press Next to continue. Activate your copy of Windows. If connected to the Internet, Select "Activate Now. Create Users. After the Activation Process, a window will appear allowing you to select the users for the computer. Enter your name, and the names of others who will be using the machine.
Start using Windows. You will now be looking at the default Windows XP Desktop. Think of something secure and never lose or forget it. Wait here while the Network is installing. You could read all the marketing dribble, but I do not recommend it. The Network Settings Dialog is next. Under usual circumstances, the Typical settings are fine, but I never choose them so I can poke around under the hood.
I selected Custom settings here. In the Custom settings , many options are abound. I cannot go into all of them here, but I will hit on the high points. QoS Packet Scheduler is not required unless your network uses it. Adjust them for your particular needs as required. For now, I kept the default settings.
If you are using a static IP address, enter in the proper information here. Workgroup or Computer Domain, that is the question. I am not going to set up this system to connect to a domain controller, so I will place it as a member of a workgroup. The system will reboot after all files have been copied over to the install partition. Now may be a good time to take a break.
It may be awhile. Since the initial screen resolution is set to x , a balloon dialog appears. You may click the pop-up balloon to raise the resolution up to x automatically. For the rest of this guide, I chose to ignore it. Even if you do not wish to see the information, you should click on the balloon to get rid of the annoyance in a timely fashion. I hope this guide helped you out or gave you a sneak peek at what is to come.
