				| 
 |  
				| Hi, this is my first tut in this section, so behave ! 
 i'll get to the point (i hate long speaches), Requirments:
 
 *Your Windows XP Disk
 
 *Paragon Partirion Manager 8.5 pro
 
 ---------------------
 
 Now, download & install the partition manager (reboot if needed).
 
 after you're done installing, open it, choose your hard disk you want to format.
 
 Note: For those who doesn't know what format is, it's an action to remove everything completely from your OS, including the OS so use it wisly)
 
 now, in the label type the label you want (Eg. C) and uncheck "surface test, it checks for errors and bad sectors, it's not needed so unchecking will skip this test), then type "OK" if needed.
 
 
   
 now you'll be forced to reboot the computer (do so), after you've rebooted the format will take place.
 
 while it's formatting go watch Tv or something (takes 5min though), after it finishes formatting reboot & insert your OS disk, (Before we continue i want you to reboot the computer and go into BIOS and in bios to go "reboot" area, and make sure the first device is hard disk and secondary is CD-ROM)
 
 now, while rebooting with your OS disk inside, you'll see a black screen with "Please press any key to boot from cd. ." just click spacebar or enter.
 
 you'll now hit a blue screen (not BSOD lol) loading all of the components, after it finishes loading click Enter (Install) and then wait for it to load all the .ini's configuration files, then press F8 to "Accept" the TOS (Terms Of Service), then choose your formatted label, and click enter to install.
 
 you'll take place with the following settings:
 
 format the computer <quick> //skips surface test
 
 format the computer //Full
 
 leave it with no changes //will skip formatting since we allready did and start installing Windows XP aheade.
 
 now Windows XP will copy all the files that will be needed and will force you to reboot after, once you've rebooted don't touch any keys until you'll hit the "Please insert your validate activation code".
 
 that's all, cheers
