Virtual PC - Installation of Windows XP


This post is accompanied by images of my installation of Windows XP as you can see by scrolling down my blog. To install XP I used the image ISO file and booted by using this, I then reset my PC which then began the installation. After I had chose my harddrive partitions and chosen the directory of where XP is exactly going to be installed, the installation began. After this I then set up my personal XP setting such as user names, and passwords. I chose not to set up a password as I need to use XP constantly to install software, and hardware drivers, so if I set an administrator password and then forgot it I would have to re-do the whole process. Now that I am on my desktop It is time to install windows updates, and make my pc secure for when I connect to the internet so that I am protected from various threats such as virus's, spyware and adware. The operation system which I have installed is called Windows XP Professional Edition.
