Installing Windows XP Pro SP3

Mindrifter · 11-03-2009, 03:26 AM

I'm installing windows xp pro SP3 on my ASUS P4P800. I put the cd into my drive and went to the boot settings of the bios. When i got to the boot settings there were three options

- Boot Device Priority

- Boot Settings Configuration
- Security

What am I supposed to do now (by the way this is my first time installing an os)

I've already set the dvd drive to first priority on the boot priority, and I have the os in the drive. I just don't know what to do now.

Boot to the CD, partition the drive, install windows, install drivers and updates, and your done.

I have a word doc walkthrough on how to do it if you want.

Iwould like to know how to boot it so I'd like to see the word doc. Word can be opened with Open Office Writer right?
