How to Install Windows XP Part 1 of 2

Part 1 of 2 The basic steps to programming a new hard drive for novices to learn. How to install windows XP operating system software and drivers using technology as of 12th October 2009. I run through booting from the XP disc, creating the partition and through some installation screens, I briefly explain NTFS and a few windows problems that can be caused by using incorrect discs with licenses. This is a first time start up of this system.

@IH8LifesSucks not quite sure what you mean but sounds like something is stuffed. IDE or SATA drives? Master/slave jumpers correct if IDE? you should see the drives listed in the BIOS if they are connected correctly and working.

i get to the part where it tells me that its copying files and it restarts and it i keep repeating the same steps over and over

@THSO360mods Did you do a clean install, are you using the correct license key. Have you tested the hard drive for any malfunction. Is the RAM OK, have you tested that.
