Appendix A. Installing Windows XP
Some of you will be fortunate enough to
never have to endure the installation of an operating system. After
all, a large number of Windows XP users will obtain the OS
preinstalled on new PCs. Others, however, may be confronted with one
of the scenarios listed in this appendix.Windows XP can be installed from within Windows XP, Windows 2000,
Windows NT, Windows Me, and Windows 9x.[1] It can
be installed from DOS, or even on a system with no operating system.
The procedure is somewhat different in each of these scenarios, as
are the programs that are used and the components of Windows that end
up being installed. The following sections outline the steps required
to install Windows XP in each of these scenarios. Refer also to Appendix B for additional issues that may complicate
the process.
[1] If you have
the upgrade version of Windows XP Home, you can install only from
Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, or Windows Me. If you have the upgrade
version of Windows XP Professional, you can install only from Windows
98, Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000
Professional, or Windows XP Home Edition.
Note that if you're installing Windows XP on a hard
disk that has data on it, you're strongly encouraged
to back up your entire system before you proceed. Make sure you use
backup software that you'll be able to run from
within Windows XP; otherwise, your backup will be worthless. See
Appendix B for more information on backup
software.
