Most of all computer users run Windows XP. Hope you are one of them. But how many people exactly know what is Windows XP and how to install it? Windows XP is an operating system that was first introduced by Microsoft’s Windows family in the year 2001. The term “XP” stands for “experience”. Windows XP appears in two versions- Professional and Home.
XP installation not at all a very difficult job as it appears. If you want to save your money and install Windows XP manually in your system you may follow the steps mentioned below:
At the beginning you have to change the ‘primary boot device’. You have to do it by inserting the OS (Operating System) disk in the optical drive. You have to click on the ‘del’ button continually to execute the process. Look for the ‘Boot device priority’ or ‘Primary boot service’ and set it to the optical drive not to the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Once the process gets over the PC will be restarted and the operating system will be loaded automatically.
After loading the Operating System disk you simply follow the instructions that will be displayed and need to choose the HDD where you will install the operating. Before installing the operating system you need to format the hard drive to keep it virus free. After formatting gets completed you need to restart the system and then you need to follow the steps and fill up the necessary information and wait for the operating system to finish installing completely.
After installing the operating system you should install the necessary drivers. At first you should install motherboard by inserting the disk that you may found in the box of the motherboard. Then you should go through the instruction and install the drivers in the motherboard. Then you may be asked to restart the computer again.
After installing the motherboard you should install the video card along with the video card driver. Otherwise it will be strain your eyes and cause headaches. Video card can be inserted by inserting the disk that can be found in the video card box. Then insert the sound card in the same way.
These are some simple basic steps that you can follow while installing XP. I hope it will be effective and save a lot of time and money.
