Installing XP
Why did I choose this topic?
Because when my computer crashed
after partitioning my drive, I lost all my files and had to choose a new operating
system. So from the suggestion of one of my friends, I embraced Microsoft's
new OS simply because I thought it would be simple to install and also because
of the great GUI. But little did I know, 30-40 minutes after I inserted the
disc, my computer prompted me to enter a password in order to login and since
I had not configured a password yet, I was stunned. So after punching the computer
a few times, I simply restarted and tried to reinstall XP again. In my second
attempt, my computer crashed 5 minutes after the installation and after the
third attempt I had finally completed the installation. Once complete though
I was greeted with a beautiful GUI, but also with a computer that would not
recognize my mouse. All in all though while the computer has had its problems
and really bad karma, it now runs smoothly with a somewhat stable OS.

Restart Computer, as computer
begins to boot up, insert disc labeled Windows XP. Once
you insert the disc make sure there is a screen that says, "boot
from disc".

Hope that computer does not
crash. Follow Directions to continue installation.
Once installation
is complete restart the
computer and hope for the best. Then configure your
personal settings.
After that reboot and
pray that it will recognize
your mouse or other devices
because some
devices aren't
compatible.
