TASK 2:

Installing Windows XP in
the personal computer.
• AIM: To install Windows XP on pc.

Step 1 :Start the PC and place the Windows XP CD in the CD/DVD-ROM


drive. The PC should automatically detect the CD and we will get a
message saying “ Press any key to boot from CD”. If we do not press
a key, the PC will attempt to boot to the next device in the boot order,
which is probably the hard drive.

Press any key to boot from CD


• Step 2 :Soon as the computer starts booting from the CD we will get
the screen.

Setup is inspecting your computer’s


hardware configuration.......

• Step 3 : At this stage it will ask us to press F6 if we want to install a


third party SCSI or RAID driver. If we are using an IDE Hard Drive
then we no need to press F6.If we are using SCSI or SATA Hard Drive
then we must press F6 otherwise Windows will not detect the Hard
Drive during installation.
• Step 4 : After necessary files and drivers are loaded we will get a
Windows XP Professional Setup screen. We have the options to install
new Windows, Repair previous install or quit. Since we are doing a
new install we press Enter to continue.
• Step 5 : The next screen that appears is the Windows XP Licensing
Agreement. Press F8 to confirm and agree with the terms.
• Step 6 :
 This step is very important. Here we will create the partition where Windows
will be installed. If we have a new unformatted drive we will get a screen as
below.
 In our case the drive size is 8190 MB. We can choose to install Windows in this
drive without creating a partition, hence use the entire size of the drive.
 If we wish to do this we can just press enter and Windows will automatically
partition and format the drive as one large drive.
• Step 7 : We have to keep in remember that there are minimum space
requirements to install XP. Set the size of the desired partition and
press Enter.
• Step 8 : After creating the partition, the screen in the below figure
still shows the unallocated space on the drive. If we want to create
another partition, highlight the unallocated space and press C again
to repeat the partition creation process.
• Step 9 : Choose format the partition using NTFS file system. This is
the recommended file system. If the hard drive has been formatted
before then we can choose quick NTFS format. We choose NTFS file
system because it offers many security features , supports larger drive
size, and bigger size files.

• Step 10 : Windows XP Setup will now start formatting the drive C:


•
• Step 11 : Windows XP Setup will now copy the necessary installation files
from the Windows XP installation CD to the newly formatted partition drive
C.

• Step 12 : After the Setup has completed copying the files the computer will restart. Leave the XP CD in the drive . But
this time DO NOT press any key when the message “Press any key to boot from CD” is displayed. In few seconds
Setup will continue.

•
• Step 13 : Choose the Regional and Language Options.

Step 14 : Enter your name and Organization


• Step 15 : Enter the product key.

Step 16 : Enter the computer name and Administrator Password. Don’t forget to write down the
Administrator Password .
• Step 17 : Enter the correct date, time and choose the time zone.

Step 18 : For the Network Settings choose Typical and then press Next
• Step 19 : Choose Workgroup or Computer Domain name. If we are not a
member of a domain then leave the default settings and press next.

Step 20 : Windows will restart again and adjust the display .


•
• Step 21 : Finally Windows will start with a Welcome Screen. Click
next to continue.

• Step 21 : Choose ‘ help protect my PC by turning on automatic


updates now ‘ and press next .
• Step 22 : Will this computer connect to the internet directly, or through a
network? If we are connected to a router or LAN then choose : ‘Yes, this
computer will connect through a local area network or home network ‘.
If we have a dial up modem then choose :’No, this computer will connect
directly to the internet’. Then click Next.
• Step 23 : Add users that will sign on to this computer and click next .

Step 24 : We will get a Thank you screen to confirm setup is complete .
