How many times have you installed Windows XP...

[Red Dawn]

Once Legally!

Never. I have, however, installed Windows 2000 Professional Edition up to eight times in one day on one computer. God damned master/slave jumper came loose a few times and the installations went to hell. Thank the gods for electrical tape.

 

[Eli]

None.

<-- Uses Win2k

Just once. I tried but failed all subsequent times.

Dang... 8, and without an unattended install I assume? I must bow down before you.

Once.

Never more than once on a computer.

I've installed it on 8 or so separate computers.

I'm an IT Admin over at the company that i work for... i've installed it over 20 times! Windows XP rocks... its super stable, i know the whole process. If anyone needs it installed, just let me know.. i'm the pro.

 

[newbiepcuser]

Over 20+ probably from a ghost image. I do software QA for a living.

 

[idNut]

I've installed it probably 10 times. God I hate formatting.

 

[MrCodeDude]

Three times in one day.

[amdskip]

3 or so

I've installed it too many times though on tons of different computers.

 

[Walleye]

once.


but i installed linux 13 times 1 day... after mandrake screwed me 12 times, i went redhat and havent had a problem.

 

[Viperoni]

Total windows reinstallations, home and @ work... probably ~50.

I've gotta reinstall mandrake against because I can't seem to be able to properly install the Nvidia GLX, but the Nvidia kernel installs ok.
Wish I knew more about Linux

 

[aircooled]

Only during motherboard replacements. Otherwise I think XP is the best OS microsoft has released to date.

 

[Regs]

Ever since they started up with that XML bs to order the install operations... Like 10 times.

 

[her209]

If auto-installs count, 154.

As somebody else said, you can install Windows XP with your penis if you have to. It's that easy.
