In this step, you will want to choose whether you want to have system do a quick installation or a standard installation. For the purposes of this set of instructions, I have chosen to do a standard installation. After choosing your method of installation, you will want to press the Enter key to continue to the installation. This step will probably be the longest step.
This is because you are at the mercy of the system and how fast it installs Windows XP. After you have pressed the Enter key in the last step, you will see the screen in the first picture here appear. This will mean that the program is running the installation.
Over time, the progress bar will move across the screen, as shown in the second picture where the progress bar is at twenty-five percent. After the Installation has finished placing the file system on your hard drive, you will see the program restart your computer. Do not be alarmed at this. The first screen seen in the first picture that will come up will be a screen for you to select the language and keyboard style that you wish to use for your new installation of Windows XP.
I have chosen to use the English Language and the US keyboard layout. You may select any configuration that you are comfortable with and then press the Next button. The next thing the program will ask for is the name and organization that this install is affiliated with as seen in the second picture. You will want to fill this in with your information. After filling in the information, you will press the Next button. When the next screen comes up as seen in the third picture , you will want to choose the name you want to give to your computer and the password the Administrator of the computer will have.
Press the Next button. You will now see the area for you to choose the time and date to be set on the computer. This will correspond to the Time Zone in which you live. I live in the Central Time Zone, so I have chosen to have the date and time correspond to that. You may pick which ever you would like from this menu. After choosing the Time Zone you are in, you will need to make sure the time is correct.
This can be done by checking the time as seen in the second picture. The installation will prompt you to improve the display settings as seen in the first picture. You will need to press the OK button for this to continue. After pressing the OK button, you will see another box appear like the one in the second picture.
This box will want you to press the OK button also. Sign in. United States English. Home R2 Library Forums. Ask a question. Quick access. Search related threads. Remove From My Forums.

Partition my hard drive with Windows XP? I guess 20GB is plentiful to install some apps. Faishal Akbar dont use to much spaace for XP, if you just installing the os not with the programs i recommend GB For Installing, if you prefer install with some heavy-size application I recommend GB.
Installed programs went on the smaller partition and games, music, pictures went on the bigger one. If you are able to give it 15GB then you're good. Michael Heffner XP will install with all the extras removed in as little at 1. This does not leave any additional room for programs or data though. Once you put in the amount of space you want to use in the partitioning software, it will fill in the un-allocated space with the remaining available space.
Michael Heffner XP will "install" with all options removed in as little as 1. Once you put in how much space you want to use, it will fill in the un-allocated space with the remainder of the empty room on the drive. Kevin H Yeah, I'd say at least 10gb. For me, I like to give some buffer so I'll give Oron Joffe Sandra, I agree with Bruce, there's no single figure because it all depends As you can see, the basic size of the OS is not the main issue, but rather the other things that go with it, applications, temp files, installation backup files e.
As a rough guide, I'd suggest 5GB minimum for the OS, more for applications if they go on the same drive. Since you are partitioning anyway, create a separate partition for the page file and set the page file to a fixed size you can accept the size recommend by the system.
If you are keeping the OS, applications, page file and hibernation files all on the same drive, I'd suggest 30GB as a minimum, and if your hard disc allows , increase the size further up to about 80GB if you have plenty of space. Arpit Nadda If you want to install windows xp in partition, 5 GB will be enough.
