how to install windows xp or some other in my hard drive?

Answer 1

you are not starting from a completely blank hard drive, you may have some decisions to make, but Windows will prompt you for choices, and offer a default. Unless you have a particular reason not to, trust the default. Most of them you can change later, if you need to, and the defaults are indeed well chosen, most of the time. Be alert, but basically trusting, and you will have the thing safely installed in a few minutes.

Answer 2

Ideally, you should be able to start with a clean slate. If this is a computer you have just bought, and the seller did not have the courtesy to install it for you, it's really very easy. The thing is trained to install itself. You just put the CD in the CD drive, find the program named "install," and you're on.

You can also buy it to download off the Internet, especially effective if you are upgrading a prior version of Windows, even a pirated one. They are very forgiving once you "go legit," making the assumption that you are the innocent victim of a pirate. Sure.

Answer 4

Get the Windows XP CD, put it in the CD drive. Reboot your computer. the computer should boot from the CD and then just follow the online instructions to complete the installation process.

If the system is not booting from the CD, you will have to change the boot order in BIOS and make the first boot device as CD-ROM. Restart the computer and it should work.

Answer 5

Keep the CD in CD drive if you want to install the later version on older version then go as per the instruction asked. The machine will boot twice. If you want to go reverese, if you want to install 2000 with present XP. Go initally for XP cd restart the machine, go in boot up, let it ask or it would prompt for uninstall xp, keep the cd as it is (XP). Once unistall is completed, remove the cd and put the older version go for the next, option give the CD key and go for it.

Answer 6

Get XP CD. Insert CD. Boot from CD. (Change boot priority in BIOS by pressing DEL on startup until you get to BIOS to check CD ROM first.) Follow steps. If you can't understand what I said or follow the directions on the XP Install yourself, you need to find someone else.

Answer 7

and offcourse if you are talking about dual boot (means have more then 1 OS in single computer) then it is wise to have two hard drive. Even if you do not have two hard drive you can still partition one drive into two or many partion of drive and instal each on seperate partition drive.

But remember condition applies when you do this and you need some knowledge on to do this.
