INSTALL AUTOMATED XP

INSTALL AUTOMATED XP

Now install Windows (using Unattended C.D) in your system. Here step by step guideline concerning the installation.

Required Material

A Partitioning Tool.
Windows Unattended CD/DVD
Nero Burning Rom.
A Blank CD.

Step#1

Download a partitioning Tool from www.Download.com or www.softpedia.com.
The best partitioning tool I have ever seen, that GParted from Gnome Dextop system generate from LINUX, You may also try Partition Star, SwissKnife, and so on.
Oh! I forget the famous buddy, Partition Magic, but using this Tool may wipe up your side pocket of your jeans.

Step#2

Make a bootable disk for petition of Hard Disk.

Download Gparted .Iso file from Download.com>open with Nero Burning Rom>insert a blank CD>Burn it.

Making a bootable Partition tool is necessary as Windows Unattended CD/DVD did not allow you to make or rearrange the Hard Drive.

Step#3

Turn on your P.C>repeatedly press F8/F10/F2 (as per your mother board setting)>change 1st boot device to CD Rom.

Some old motherboard does not support changing boot sequence by pressing a single key without entering BIOS, in that case enter BIOS (frequently press F2/Del,as per your mother board setting)>boot preference>select CD as 1st boot device>save the current settings(mostly F10)>Quit.

Step#4

Insert bootable partition tool CD (I prefer GParted)>create an at least 10GB (for smooth running Windows Xp) partition as primary Partition> Format it in NTFS file system.
Existing unallocated space divide it up to 4 or 5 partitions as you desired.

Apply it >Quit from partition tool.

Step#5

Insert Unattended Windows Installation CD/DVD and take a little nap or take your favourite magazine.

This process will be taking up to one hour depending of your CPU speed.
