Installing Windows XP
Windows XP Installation Guide - Phase 2
The system should now boot to the HDD to continue the
installation.
After it has booted to the HDD, place the
Windows XP
CD back into the CD-ROM drive
A Windows XP
screen should appear and the installation will continue
The system will now load and configure the Operating System.
During this time, five small green squares will 'pulse' in
sequence at the bottom right of the screen. This indicates
that the system is actively installing files and settings.
If this stops for a long time, simply shutdown and restart
your computer.
A Region and
Language Options window will pop up during
the installation. Configure the options available for your
country and then click
Next to
continue.
If you're unsure about the options, they can also be
configured after the installation has completed
At the
Personalize your software window, click
inside each text box and fill in your name and
organization/company (if you have one) then click
Next
Before the next step, locate the
Windows XP
Product key which should be on the CD case.
At the Your
product key window, copy the product key
into the boxes exactly as it appears on the CD case, then
click Next
If it doesn't work, don't worry, just try typing it in
again. It's easy to mis-type a complex set of numbers and
letters.
At the What's
your computers name? window, type in a name
for your PC, then click
Next
If you ever create a home network of two machines or more,
the name of each machine will need to be different.
At the Modem
dialling information window, fill in the
required details then click
Next
This window will only display if you have a Modem fitted to
your PC
At the Time and
Date window, check that the time, date and
time zone are correct and click
Next
Again, don't worry if they're not right as this can also be
configured after the installation
At the Network
Information window, select
Typical settings
then click Next
These settings can be reconfigured later as required.
The system will finish the installation and automatically
reboot the PC.
Phase Two of the installation is complete and the system
needs to reboot again...
