1.1 Manually Installing Windows XP Professional Across a Network

This exercise is intended to familiarize you with the process of installing Windows XP Professional. Because unattended installations are typically installed across a network, this will familiarize you with the processes you may need to use if you must manually troubleshoot a failed installation.

Estimated time: 75 minutes, depending on the speed and capabilities of your computers hardware

1.
On an available server, create a share named XPSETUP.

2.
Copy the files from the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM into the newly created share.

3.
Create a boot disk that is capable of accessing the network.

4.
Use the boot disk to start the computer on which you will be installing Windows XP Professional.

5.
Connect to the XPSETUP share and open the i386 directory.

6.
Type winnt.exe at the drive:\i386\ prompt and press Enter.

7.
Follow through the installation as described in the "Attended Installation Process" section of this chapter.

The challenge with many networks is the centralization of servers and the increasingly lengthy distances between clients and their servers. What would happen if you were limited in bandwidth between your client computer and the server that contained the XP Setup files? What installation process would you recommend for a site that connected to the rest of the corporate network through a virtual private network (VPN) connection across the Internet?

Review Questions

When you are installing Windows XP Professional, the computer hardware may or may not be detected correctly. Why should you ensure that the correct HAL is selected during setup? Why do you think that the HAL cannot be changed without reinstalling the operating system?

5.
