Ok I should be getting components for my system thursday or friday. On my current system I have win 98SE, never dealt with XP.
So...what I basically want to know is a general Idea how I go about installing it etc...
I want to use NTFS, is that something I do before/during/after install??
I'll be using a academic or whatever it you call it XP disc from college, which I'm pretty sure doesn't have documentation(getting tommorow).
Any issues I should know about using that? I've already downloaded SP1 and have it saved...anything to know about that, and academic disc?
Am i just worrying too much? =)
if you're curious here's what my system will be(will be overclocking some):
p4 2.53ghz
Antec perf PLUS 1080 charcoal case will have 430watt. 2 back, 1 side, 1 front +PS fans
Asus P4B533-e
corsair 512mb 3200c2
gainward golden sample GF4 4200, 128mb
SB Audigy gamer
WD 80gb SE 8mb/7200rpm +20gb WD/7200
48x12x48 memorex/lite-on CDRW
48x CD-rom(dvd later)
