To begin with, I will discuss how to install Windows on your computer. Assuming that you have a ready computer, complete and running that only needs Operating System. Start the computer and insert your Windows XP CD. After a few seconds, the screen will clear and you will see a 'press any key to boot from CD' prompt. Press any key to begin installation. The 'welcome to setup' screen appears. Press enter to continue. View the licensing agreement and hit F8 to continue. The installation program will then search your drives for any prior installation of XP. If it finds one, you will be given the option to repair it, which essentially reinstalls most system files while leaving the registry and installed programs intact. Otherwise, move forward to the partitioning and formatting section of the install. You will be prompted to format the drive with one of four file systems: NTFS quick, FAT quick, NTFS, or FAT. I suggest you choose NTFS then press ENTER.
After formatting, the system will copy all the necessary files needed then it will restart to proceed with it. You can now use your mouse and the first window will ask you to choose the language. Then you will be prompted to enter your name and company. After that, it will ask you to enter the serial key found on your CD case. Next, you must specify your computer name and choose password for administrator account. Click next to proceed and the Windows time and date settings will appear. Ensure that all are correct.
After another installation period, the XP setup will prompt you to specify your networking settings. These specify the default settings of your network adaptors, and whether certain Windows services such as file sharing are enabled. Your windows will now finalize the installation. Eventually, it will restart and run for the first time.

During first boot, it will ask you for users who will use the computer so you need to specify. After that, click next and you will see the welcome message on screen. You now have a Windows OS installed on your computer. Congratulations!
