Best Answer

For most home users the way to install Windows XP Professional is to boot from the Windows XP CD and follow the prompts. You will need to enter the product key that came with the CD and also provide details such as language, keyboard type and time zone. There are other installation methods, such as booting the computer from a network and installing XP from a network location. You can create a disc image of an installation on one machine and use that to create an installation on a second machine, but the hardware must be the same as the installation will be hardware-specific. If you cannot stay with the machine during the installation process, it is possible to create an 'answer file' containing the information prompted for during the installation process, but this is unlikely to be of benefit to the home user performing a single installation.
