Windows XP Clean Install
Sometimes, after many (many) troubleshooting, it is impossible to avoid a format and - reinstalling Windows XP - in other words, a clean Windows XP installation.
If it is not already obvious, a clean Windows XP installation removes everything what the drive on which Windows XP is installed on own facilities so need you back up everything you want to keep, assuming of course that it is possible.A clean Windows XP installation is time, frustrating, and... the radical solution about any problem of Windows caused under the Sun.
After serious problems of the system, it is often necessary to wipe your own Windows XP system and start over from scratch - a procedure called a "clean install". This guide is divided into four parts for a total of 34 steps and walk you through each part of the own installation process.
The most important thing to realize before you perform a clean installation of Windows XP is that all the information on the drive on which Windows XP is currently (probably your C: drive) will be destroyed during this process. This means that is it is something you want to keep, you must save it to a CD or another disk before you begin this process.
Some things to consider backup Hat usually reside on the same disk as Windows XP (we assume is "C:") include a number of folders that are found under C: \ Documents and Settings \ {your name} such as desktop, Favorites and My Documents. Also see these folders under other user accounts if more than one person connects to your PC.
You should also find the product key of Windows XP, an alphanumeric code 25-digit unique to your copy of Windows XP. If you can't find it, there is a fairly easy way to find the code from your existing installation Windows XP product key, but this must be done before reinstalling.
When you are absolutely sure to ensure that everything from your computer that you want to keep is backed up, go to the next step. Keep in mind that once you remove all information on that disk (as we will do this in a future step), the action is not reversible!Note: The steps and screen shots shown in these 34 steps refer specifically to Windows XP Professional but will also serve perfectly well as a guide to reinstalling Windows XP Home Edition.
Windows XP New Install
An installation of Windows XP on a new , or at least empty the hard drive is called a new installation.
A new installation is a bit like a clean install , but all part erasing all - you - were not necessary.If you intend to install Windows XP on a new hard drive empty, step by step guide is for you. This guide is divided into three parts, and 10 steps guide you through each part of the installation.
The most important before starting up Windows XP is to check the minimum system requirements for installation. Microsoft defines minimum standards based on their own tests of this kind of computer system will be able to manage the basic tasks of the operating system . Because a faster system will make for a more enjoyable user experience Windows XP , I strongly recommend that you not only meet but far exceed these requirements.

Note: You should not need the product key to do a repair installation but it is good to have in case your situation worsens gradually and you will need to do a clean install of Windows XP later.
Windows XP Parallel Install
A much less common way to install Windows XP is called a "parallel install." A Windows XP parallel install puts a second, independent copy of Windows XP on your computer.
