This procedure demonstrates how to install Windows XP Professional. The most widely used Windows version is Windows XP. Most of us are used to windows XP so windows Vista and Windows 7 look quite a lot more complex, that’s why we stick with XP. Although their appearance is nice, especially their animated desktop background in ultimate version. So, the choice is yours and lets go in the Windows XP installation process.

But hey! There are lots of things to bear in mind before you do the installation process specially if you are doing the reformatting. Backup your important data before you begin this process! (If you have multiple partitions on your hard drive, data on partitions other than the system partition “except C drive” will not be affected with the following steps, but a backup is still recommended to be on the safe side). You will also have to re install all the software's you were using in your previous XP.

  • WINDOWS CD INSTALLER
  • OPTICAL DRIVE 
  • Before you perform the installation I recommend that you check Windows XP Compatibility List to ensure that your hardware is supported by Windows XP.


 All versions of Windows XP CD are bootable. In order to boot from CD/DVD-ROM you need to set the boot sequence. Look for the boot sequence under your BIOS setup and make sure that the first boot device is set to CD/DVD-ROM. You can then perform the following steps to install Windows XP:
To inter the BIOS setup you need to press keys, either F1,F2,F10,F12,F11 and commonly DEL or delete depending on the motherboard BIOS instruction after the POST (Power On Self Test'). 




After you enter the BIOS Setup Screen, look for BOOT that’s where you change your Boot Priorities. Every Motherboard has it’s own boot software so your might not look like mine. To change the order of CD-ROM, try use your arrow KEYS on your keyboard and Enter key to select   the CD/DVD-ROM Drive as first boot.Some by hitting on + or - on your keyboard. Some of motherboards use F4 or F5,F5 or F6.
