You can use your windows XP CD, if you're using windows, and restart the computer. The CD is bootable so you will be given options, from which you can choose to repair the current operating system. But if you've never done this, it is probably better if you consult someone who's done so before. You can end up losing everything on your hard disk.

I don't think so but if you wait a few months they might release a version for Vista.\nUntil then stick to XP.

Buy an intel mac then install windows too and dual boot you can run everything plus osx is beautiful and really never crashes but neither does xp if you have enough memory. You'll need windows for alot of stuff though. The guy who said something about the mouse - try the Mighty Mouse it right clicks and has a scroll ball that lets you scroll in multiple directions - ITS AWESOME

Techniclaly, no, you need at least Windows 98 in order to use your XP upgrade.  But there are workarounds - for example, you'd have to install from Win 95 instead of from booting up.  See the second of the links below for details.

yes, but you have to do some master slave settings, as you may end up formatting your xp, so, boot by the usb hdd, and there you can create partitions, using the win98 cd.

Windows XP is designed to handle and Win OS. It'll work just fine when you install the driver.

Yes, just load the XP PRO CD with the computer already booted etc. Then when you install, be sure to select the "upgrade" option.

That's a hard question to answer. It depends on how old the computer is, and what kind of hardware it has. If it is a relatively new computer, then you can go out and buy a copy of windows xp. If it is an older computer or one without good hardware, then xp may not run on it. Your best option then is to put something like windows 98 on it if you can find it, or else Linux. If you know someone who is knowledgeable about computers, then ask them to burn a Linux ISO for you. Linux is free this way (except the cost of the disk). I have heard good things about Ubuntu Linux. You can get it here: http://www.ubuntu.com/

You can do whatever you want, i mean, i've seen WIN XP runnin on really old computers, and i couldn't believe it myself, so if someone answers "NO WAY" they obviously don't speak by experience.\n\nBut, anyway 16 MB is actually not much, if it runs, you're in for a hard time ;-)

Yes, you can use any Windows XP cd to install XP on your computer, but you'll need a valid Authenticity Code or whatever. Technically you can use use your friend's code, but legally you can't.

Make sure your account has "admin privelages". This is needed to install/uninstall any software using XP. Also, make sure your PC meets the minimum spec (it probably does because it's not power-hungry at all).\n\nTo log-in as an admin temporarily, startup in safe mode (change by pressing F4 at the boot), then select administrator at the welcome screen. Browse for the downloaded file and install it.

You cannot legally download XP anywhere that I am aware. Also serial numbers for XP are specific to that copy of XP due to the microsoft validation and activation system.
