Post [Answered] Installing Windows XP Home/Pro

Hi,

I want to delete everything on my computer and reinstall windows xp pro. Does anyone know any good website that can help me with this? And what is partition? I only need 1 partition right? Umm... I've download all the drivers for my computer and I put it on a disc. If I put the disc in after I finish formatting will it be able to read it?


Thanks,

Henry

Hiya henryutd

Checkout the following site, it has a step by step guide to settings up windows:

what is partition? I only need 1 partition right?
A partition is how you allocate the space on your hard drive. Lets say you have a 40GB drive, you could have 1 partition (C drive) which uses the whole 40GB.
Alternatively you could split it into multiple partitions e.g C drive of 20GB and D drive of 20GB. (totally up to you.)
I would recommend sticking with using just 1 partition.

Umm... I've download all the drivers for my computer and I put it on a disc. If I put the disc in after I finish formatting will it be able to read it?
Yes this disc will work in your computer once you have finished formatting and reloading your computer. Windows will detect and install as many drivers as it can by itself.

I hope this has helped, if you need extra info let us know.
