Windows XP Step-By-Step Installation Instructions?

[tornadobox]

Anyone know where I can get step-by-step installation instructions for Windows XP off of the internet? My cousin just got his CD and wants to do a fresh install of XP, but doesn't know what all the options mean and everything, so I was wondering if there's anywhere he could look on the net to guide him through the install.

Thanks.

Hello,

Here are a couple of links from Microsoft...should help him with all the questions he might have and have detailed walk-throughs of the installation.

If he's got XP Home Edition, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/using/howto/default.asp

If he's got XP Professional, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/default.asp

I have recently built my first rig and outfitted it with XP Pro. The installation went incredibly smooth; only problem I came across was setting up XP Pro over a RAID array. If he's going to do this, make sure he gets the drivers for the RAID controller onto a floppy, the installer will tell him when it needs this disk. But after that, I left it alone and it was done 20 minutes later.
