2-18 Chapter 2 <strong>Installing</strong> Windows XP Professional<br />

Dynamic Update is also enabled by default during unattended installations. You will<br />

learn more about unattended installations in Chapter 3, “Deploying Windows XP Professional.”<br />

Important Setup does not use Dynamic Update to download any updates that are not<br />

already included on the installation CD, so even if you use Dynamic Update, you should still<br />

use the Windows Update site or the Windows Automatic Updates feature to obtain critical<br />

updates following installation. You will learn more about updating Windows in Lesson 6,<br />

“Activating and Updating Windows XP Professional.”<br />

Practice: <strong>Installing</strong> Windows XP Professional<br />

In this practice, you install Windows XP Professional. In Exercise 1, you will install<br />

Windows XP Professional from a CD-ROM onto a computer that contains no partitions<br />

or operating systems by booting the computer using the CD-ROM. If your computer<br />

does not boot from a CD-ROM or if there is already an operating system loaded on<br />

your computer, go to Exercise 2 to install Windows XP Professional from a CD-ROM<br />

without having to boot from the Windows XP Professional installation CD-ROM.<br />

Exercise 1: <strong>Installing</strong> Windows XP Professional from a CD-ROM<br />

1. Make sure that your computer is set up to start from the CD-ROM drive. If you are<br />

not sure how to do this, consult your computer documentation for information<br />

about accessing the BIOS settings.<br />

2. Insert the Windows XP Professional installation CD into your CD-ROM drive and<br />

restart the computer. When the computer restarts, the text mode portion of the<br />

installation begins.<br />

During this time, you will be asked if you need to install any third-party drivers.<br />

You only have a few seconds to press the F6 key and install the drivers before the<br />

installation continues.<br />

Note Some computers will require you to press a key to boot from the CD-ROM drive. If you<br />

are prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press the spacebar.<br />

3. Windows loads a number of files needed for setup, and the Welcome To Setup<br />

screen appears after a few minutes. You can use this screen to set up Windows XP<br />

or to repair an existing installation. Press ENTER to continue with the installation.<br />

4. The Windows XP Licensing Agreement appears. After reading the terms of the<br />

license, press F8 to accept the terms and continue the installation. If you do not<br />

accept the agreement, Setup does not continue.
