Best Answer

The first things to install after installing Windows are the system drivers. That way, all of your hardware will work properly with Windows. Otherwise, the system will be slow, some USB ports might not work, any RAID features might not work (or not properly) there might be no sound, and the screen resolution and refresh will likely be horrible. The best driver to install first is often the network driver. If you have that one, you can get all the other drivers if you don't have them.

After installing the system drivers, you would likely want to install your favorite applications, games, and utilities. If you like a lot of music and movies, you should find a good codec set and install it so your machine can play all the various formats.

How can you unistall unfinished windows installation?

You'll probably have to reinsert the "Windows XP SP_ Installation Disc" and restart the installation again, and redo the events you did the last installation, until the Partitions screen occurs/appears (In Windows XP Installation Process), and select the Partition on which you previously chose to install Windows, and the select it to be formatted using NTFS file system as you did in the last setup. This will cause the partition to be formatted with NTFS file system and make it an empty, useful partition ready to allow Windows Installation to continue on it. Later in GUI Installation, you install Windows XP as usual until the final step. Now, your Windows XP is fine, new, fast and clean Installed Windows Operating System....
