Windows XP cd is equipt with an easy to install procedure. You can boot into the installation process by chaning your first boot to CD. Here how you do it. Start your computer and emidiately press delete again and again till you get a blue sceen. Browse thorugh the menu and find this first boot option. Change it to CD. Dont forget to save you setting. Then, insert you windows XP cd and restart you computer. The computer will go to the windows xp bood screen. The instruction are quite easy there. If you need help, contact me on YM : jaynier91.
