To do a clean install, boot the Windows XP install CD-Rom. Setup inspects your computer's hardware configuration and then begins to install the setup and driver files. When the Windows XP Professional screen appears, press ENTER to set up Windows XP Professional.
(Note: If your drive controller is not natively supported then you'll want to boot the Windows XP CD-Rom. Then *F6* very early and very important (at setup is inspecting your system) in the setup to prevent drive controller detection, and select S to specify additional drivers. Then later you'll be prompted to insert the manufacturer supplied Windows XP driver for your drive controller in drive "A")
Read the license agreement, and then press the F8 key to accept the terms of the license agreement and continue the installation.
When the Windows XP Professional Setup screen appears, all the existing partitions and the unpartitioned spaces are listed for each physical hard disk. Use the ARROW keys to select the partitions Press D to delete an existing partition, If you press D to delete an existing partition, you must then press L (or press ENTER, and then press L if it is the System partition) to confirm that you want to delete the partition. Repeat this step for each of the existing partitions When all the partitions are deleted press F3 to exit setup, (to avoid unexpected drive letter assignments with your new install) then restart the pc then when you get to this point in setup again select the unpartitioned space, and then press C to create a new partition and specify the size (if required). Windows will by default use all available space.
Be sure to apply SP2 or at least these two below to your new install before connecting to any network. Internet included. (sasser, msblast)
