Preparing for Installation

1. Look for the Windows XP CD in the pack.Check the product key. Without it, the installation cannot take place. The product key is usually located on the Windows XP CD case.


2. Make sure the computer hardware is well arranged. See that the monitor, keyboard, mouse and CD drive are properly connected.

3. Confirm that you have the hardware drivers CD. You will need it for the communication between Windows XP and the components of your computer. This CD should have been provided by your computer vendor.

Installing Windows XP


1. Place the XP CD into your computer. Restart your computer. Press the spacebar as soon as you see "Press any key to boot from CD" on the screen.

2. The setup has started when the keyboard, not the mouse, is operational. Press "Enter" when the Welcome to Setup page is displayed.

3. Read the Windows XP Licensing Agreement that appears on the screen. Press F8 on the keyboard to accept the agreement. This step will select the hard drive to install Windows XP.

4. Press "Enter" and you will see the default "Unpartitioned Space" on the screen. Push the up and down arrows and select "Format the partition using the NTFS file system."

5. Wait for 30 minutes until the computer completes the formatting process. It will erase the hard disk drive and copy the setup files. Windows XP will now restart with your mouse working.

6. Continue with the installation process. See the Regional and Language Options option and click "Next" to proceed if you prefer English. Otherwise, set the language by clicking on "Customize." Then click on "OK" and save the settings.

7. View the Personalize Your Software page. Enter your name and organization's name. Click on "Next" to proceed. On the following page, see your product key, just as the one that appears on your Windows XP CD case. It is a unique 25-character key. Click the "Next" button.

8. Fill in the required information on each page, such as date and time settings. Keep clicking "Next" to proceed to another page until you reach the Welcome to Microsoft Page.

• If you use dial-up Internet access, or if Windows XP cannot connect to the Internet, you can connect to the Internet after setup is complete. On the How will this computer connect to the Internet? page, click Skip.

If you are not yet connected to the Internet, click No, click Next, and then skip to step 24. After setup is complete, Windows XP will automatically remind you to activate and register your copy of Windows XP.

22.
On the Ready to register with Microsoft? page, click Yes, and then click Next.

23.
On the Collecting Registration Information page, complete the form. Then, click Next.

24.
On the Who will use this computer? page, type the name of each person who will use the computer. You can use first names only, nicknames, or full names. Then click Next. To add users after setup is complete or to specify a password to keep your account private, read Create and customize user accounts.

25.
On the Thank you! page, click Finish.

Congratulations! Windows XP setup is complete.

1.Restart your computer. Immediately after the screen goes blank for the first time, press the F8 key repeatedly. The Windows Advanced Options menu appears. If the menu does not appear, restart your computer and try again. Use the cursor keys on your keyboard (your mouse will not work) to select Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER. Windows XP attempts to start.

.
If you recently installed new hardware, shut down your computer and disconnect the hardware. Then, restart Windows XP and troubleshoot your hardware to get it working properly.
3.
Restart your computer and press F8 again. This time, choose Safe Mode and press ENTER. Windows XP attempts to start in Safe Mode, which does not automatically start programs and hardware, and displays very primitive graphics. If Windows XP starts successfully in Safe Mode, you can remove any programs or updates you have recently installed. Then, restart your computer normally.

Performing a repair installation of Windows XP can fix many serious startup problems. While you should not lose any of your important documents, you might lose settings, and you will need to reinstall many updates.
Before performing a repair installation of Windows XP, you should have both your Windows XP CD and your product key available.
