Installing Windows
Best and latest Windows Out there is "Windows Xp: Build 2600 Sp2 Pro".
It Has Service Pack 2 Integrated With it so you wont need to update your windows with Service pack 1 Update series. Buy it or as most of us do DOWNLOAD it .
now whether u download the cd or buy it it will be bootable, meaning that once you insert the cd and restart you will be redirected to Installation page instead of windows and you wont need to make your own boot disk as older version of windows required.
1) Ok so once you booted your Pc with the Cd you will see the following Page, as it says PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM CD
2) Next a Blue Page shows up and you will see some setup files being copied, ignore it for a while till the below Screen Shows Up.it will ask you if u want to repair the Current Windows or install a new one, the 3rd option will be Exiting the setup. Press ENTER on the "Set up Xp Now" for new installation.
3) Press F8 at User Agreement page to Agree with it.
4)Selecting and Formatting Partition is what next page(s) will be about.
