Also make sure to remember to install your anti virus software before you connect to the web. It will give you that little more protection. Then log on, and connect. It will the update everything.

If you have built the PC correctly, then all you've got to do is pop the OS CD in and follow the instructions. In most cases, if something is not right somewhere, you will get a message pointing to troubled spot.

OK, well first, yes you do want to setup windows. Go into your BIOS when the PC starts up and make sure that it checks to boot from CD before from HDD. Then pop the CD in and go, you should be able to take it from there.

The XP cd will take care of setting up the HD.
