INSTALLATION OF OPERATING SYSTEM

Before the installation process undertake, a technician must be aware of the minimum requirements of a computer
hardware that is compatible with the operating system to be installed. Following the systems’ requirements means an
efficient computer system.

The list below shows the windows XP minimum requirements for installation:
• Pentium 233 Mhz or compatible processor or faster; 300MHZ or faster recommended
• 64MB of RAM minimum; 128MB or more recommended
• 4.3GB hard hard disk space or more
• CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
• Super VGA (800X600) or higher-resolution monitor
• Keyboard and mouse

Windows XP Installation
1. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM and reboot the computer
• If you see a message about press any key to boot the CD, do so now.
Otherwise, you will see a message about Setup inspecting your system.

2. MS-DOS portion of Setup begins

• In the first stage of setup; you will see a series of blue and gray MS-
DOS-based screens.
• In the first step, you will be asked to press F6 if you need to install
any third-party or RAID drivers.

3. Welcome to Setup
• Finally, Setup begins. In this step,
you can set up XP, launch the
Recovery Console (another, more
complicated system recovery tool),
or quit.
• Press ENTER to continue Setup,
and it will examine your hard drives and removable disks.

4. Read the license agreement

• Next, you'll have to agree to
Microsoft's complex licensing agreement. Among the highlights: You
don't actually own Windows XP and you can only install it on one PC.
• Hit F8 to continue.

5. Choose an installation partition

• This crucial step lets you choose where to install XP.
• On a clean install, you will typically install to the C: drive, but you
might have other ideas, especially if you plan to dual-boot with 9x.
• Setup will show you all of your available disks (in this case,
just one) and let you create and delete partitions as needed.
So, for example, if you have one disk, but would like to create
two partitions, one for XP and one for your data, you can do
that here.
6. Select the file system
• If you created a new partition, or wish to change the file
system of an existing partition, you can do so in the next step.
NTFS (New Technology File System) file system is more
secured than FAT (File Allocation System).
• Regardless of which file system you choose, be sure to select one of the "quick" format options (the top two
choices), if you do need to format, since these will work much more quickly than a full format.
7. Optionally format the partition
• If you did choose to change or format the file system, this will
occur next. First, you'll be asked to verify the format. If you're
installing XP on a
system with more than
one partition,
especially one that still
holds your data on one
of the partitions, be
sure you're formatting
the correct partition.
• Hit F to continue, and a yellow progress bar will indicate the
status of the format. When this is complete, Setup will again
examine your disks, and create a list of files to copy.

8. Setup folder copy phase and reboot

• Setup will now copy system files to the system/boot partition(s)
you just created. This will allow the PC to boot from the C: drive
and continue Setup in GUI mode.
• When the file copy is complete, Setup will initialize and save your
XP configuration.
• It will then reboot your PC. When the system reboots, you will
probably see the "Press any key to boot from CD" message again.
If this happens, do not press a key: Setup will now boot from your
C: drive. In the event that you cannot prevent the CD-based Setup
from reloading, eject the CD and reboot. Setup will ask for the CD
when needed.

9. GUI Setup begins

• Once the system reboots, you will be presented with the GUI Setup
phase, which is much more attractive than the DOS-mode phase.
As you progress through GUI Setup, you can read promotional
information on the right side of the screen about XP.
• Next, your hardware devices are detected. This could take several
minutes.

10. Regional and language Options

• In the first interactive portion of GUI Setup, you can choose to
customize the regional and language settings that will be used by
XP, as well as the text input language you'd like. Users in the
United States will not
normally need to change
anything here.
• Click Next to continue.

11. Personalize your software

• Now, enter your name and
your company. The name
you enter is not the same as
your user name,
incidentally, so you should
enter your real name here
(i.e. Rosalie Lujero or whatever).
• Click Next to continue.

12. Enter your product key

• Now you must enter the 25-character product key that is located
on the orange sticker found on the back of the CD holder that
came with Windows XP. You cannot install XP without a valid
product key. Later on, you will be asked to activate and optionally
register your copy of Windows XP. A product key can be used to
install XP on only one PC.
• Click Next to continue.

13. Enter a computer name and administrator password

• In the next phase of Setup, you can create a name for your
computer (which is used to identify it on a network) and,
optionally in Pro Edition only, a password for the system
Administrator, the person who controls the PC (this will generally
be you, of course).
14. Supply your date and time settings
• Next, you can supply the date and time, which are auto-set
based on information in your BIOS, and the time zone, which
is irritatingly set to PST, which is where Microsoft is. Change
these as appropriate.
• Click Next to continue.

15. Network setup

• If you have a networking card or modem, Setup now install the
networking components, which include the client for Microsoft
networks, File and Print Sharing, the Quality of Service (QoS)
Packet Scheduler, and the TCP/IP networking protocol by
default.

16. Choose networking settings

a. In this phase, you can choose to keep the default settings
(recommended) or enter custom settings. Click Next to
continue.
b. Enter workgroup or domain information
• In Windows XP Professional only, you will be able to select
a workgroup or domain name next. Home Edition doesn't work with Windows domains, however, and
Setup will automatically supply the workgroup name MSHOME, which you can change later. The default
workgroup name in XP Pro is, imaginatively, WORKGROUP.
• Click Next to continue.
• Figure 78. Enter Workgroup or Domain Information
• Note that XP doesn't include the legacy NetBEUI protocol out of the box. If you want to use this protocol,
you will need to install it later from the XP

17. Set-up completion

• From this point on, Setup will continue to completion without
any further need for interaction. Setup will now copy files,
complete installation, install your Start Menu items, register
system components, save settings, remove any temporary
files needed by Setup, and then reboot.
• Again, you will probably see the "Press any key to boot from
CD" message on reboot. If this happens, do not press a key,
and your new XP install will boot up. You can remove the XP
Setup CD now.
18. First boot
• You’ll be greeted by the XP splash screen on first boot (this
actually appears briefly when you rebooted into GUI Setup as
well).The splash screens for XP Pro and Home are subtly
different.

19. Change display settings

• Users with CRT monitors and some LCDs (such as laptops
and flat panel displays) will see a Display Settings dialog
appear, which asks whether you'd like XP to automatically set
the resolution. This will generally change the resolution from
800 x 600 to 1024 x 768 on a CRT monitor, or to the native
resolution of an LCD display.
• Click OK and let XP change the resolution. Then, accept the
settings if the screen display changes and can be read. If you can't
see the display, it will time out after 30 seconds and return to the
sub-optimal 800 x 600 resolution.
• Click OK to accept the screen resolution change.

20. Welcome to Microsoft Windows

• Now, you are presented with XP's "Out of Box Experience," or OOBE, which presents a silly wizard to
guide you through the final set up of your PC.
• Click Next to continue.
 21. Network setup
• In the opening OOBE phase, you are asked to set up your
network/Internet connection, which is required for activation and
registration. If you selected the default networking configuration
during Setup and know it will
work (because you're connected
directly to a cable modem,
perhaps, or are on a local area
network), then select Yes (the
default). Otherwise, you can
select No and then Skip.
• We'll assume that your network
is up and running and select Yes.
• Click Next to continue.

22. If you selected Yes in the previous step, you are asked if you'd like to
activate Windows XP. This will tie your copy of XP to the current PC semi-
permanently. Activation requires a connection to the Internet, but you can
perform this step later if you want (and don't worry, XP will annoyingly
remind you of this fact every time you boot the machine until you do so).

23. Set up users

• Now, you can set up the user names of the people who will be using
the PC. You will want at least one user (for you), since you shouldn't
be logging on as Administrator. Curiously, each user you do create
here has administrative privileges, however, and no password. You
should set up your users correctly with passwords as soon as
possible.
• This phase lets you create up to five users. You can create more
later, or manage users, using the User Accounts tool in Control
Panel.
• Click Finish when done
creating users. At this point,
OOBE ends and you're reading
to go.
• Click Finish again.

24. Logon to Windows XP for the first time

• Click your name, that account will logon and you'll be presented
with the XP desktop. After you create passwords, however, you'll
be asked to enter a password before you can logon
