xp install
I'm getting ready to install xp(full install) on a new build. I need to know the best way to go about it. Is it best to install on a new hd? Do you need a start up disk to get the puter going? I've had little experience with a full install. What do you think?

Be sure to partition and format the drive before loading the O/S.

The setup of XP, will prompt you to fdisk and format, no need to bother with other stuff.
