It was about the easiest install that I ever done,no boot disk.
this was set up on a clean hard drive no partition was set.
first thing is to set your computer to boot from cd-rom(which is a setting in bios under power settings)
second put windows Xp cd into cd-rom and start computer after computer starts it will put a active partition on it for you.
third it will ask you if you want to set it a 32 fat or nt I choose nt because I didn't have a previous version on it if I did I would of choose fat32.
after that is done then it formats and its ready to start copying files it said it would take about 46 minutes but it seem a lot faster then that.
after asking a couple minor questions, it asked for the product key number and then it install everything, not only did it find everything and installed it, I didn't have to put a single other drivers disk into it which really surprised me it even found the network card ,so this was a first for me.
as far as am I impressed, im not so far its a lot like millennium and windows 2000 mixed together. so if you like one or the other then you will have no problems with XP
if your still a die hard 98 fan then maybe this isn't for you.
if you have any other questions please feel free to ask im not the only one running windows XP here.
