In this setup lesson, we'll show how to install Windows XP, partitioning and formating the primary hard drive. The installation is mostly waiting for files to install and Windows to configure itself. We'll let you know when the long waits happen. Make yourself a snack between the screens.

  • If I buy a PC with no operating system how do I get my existing XP onto my new hardrive in the new computer?

  • With your XP CDs. Although, if you're buying a new computer you should seriously consider upgrading to Windows 7.

  • 2 GB Ram is good for 250GB Hard Drive.

  • a 250GB drive will be woefully small by today's standards.

  • Is a  2GB hard drive good

  • A 2GB hard drive is comically undersized by today's standards. You will probably want at LEAST a 500GB drive but a 1TB drive should be what you're looking at when building a new machine.
