how does one go about installing Windows XP Embedded?

Gosh, tough one. First, buy a semiconductor company....\n\nEmbedded means just that, it is embedded in the ROM chip in a device. For instance, the O2 XDA has XP Mobile which hangs with depressing regularity needed a soft reset to clear glitches. However, it can have a hard reset to restore to the original settings which are hard coded into the chipset.

Create a boot disk www.bootdisk.com , now insert the floppy with the boot information on it into your drive, boot the computer and use the following command: FORMAT C:/S \n\nOnce it is complete set your BIOS to boot to CD before the Hard Drive and install XP...easy!

What you are doing here is a 'Clean Install', the Windows XP CD is bootable.  Simply start up the computer, instert the CD and it should display the following message:\n\n"Press any key to boot CD"\n\nYou have 5 seconds to press a key, then follow the installation instructions as you go along.\n\nIf you want more information, or you'd rather do it with floppy disks theres more information here:\n\nhttp://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/clean_install.htm

Firstly you will need a windows XP CD.\n\nOnce you have that simply start the computer and let it start in the normal windows environment.\n\nOnce windows has completed loading and the computer is usuable insert the windows XP cd and let it open. \n\nIf it doesnt open automatically, go to my computer and click the drive where the cd is placed and click setup.\n\nNow once the XP SETUP window opens follow the instructions and when you are asked for the following option\n\n1. FULL INSTALL\n2. UPGRADE\n\nSelect upgrade , in doing so the computer will upgrade itself from Windows ME to Windows XP, mostly there will not be any data loss. \n\nAs a precaution, if you have any important files please move them to the MY documents folder or to the harddisk drive directly.\n\nYou will also need the serial / product identification key which will be aksed for during the installation.\n\nAnd, during the installation the Setup will automatically check for drivers for the various devices.\n\nAlso during the installation you will be asked to set a PASSWORD FOR THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT. It is not necessary to do so as this is the safe mode account and I recommend leaving it without a password since this is your first time.\n\nLastly, after the installation some softwares may need to be re-installed. Probably Microsoft Office. I had to re-install it ( so make sure you have a copy of that )\n\nAfter the installation finishes you will be asked to create user accounts which is very easy and you just need to follow the steps as they go on.\n\nOverall its very easy with manly your requiring to click the next button.\n\n\nAll the best .

You can run a very stripped down version of windows xp from a cdrom or dvd.  You cannot run the full blown version.  I do not know what this is called, but have seen a cd like this at work.   \n\nThere are lots of bootdisks available from http://www.bootdisk.com \n\nAnother option: \nhttp://www.g4tv.com/screensavers/features/326/Bootable_Windows_CD.html

Kindly disregard the previous advice, as it doesn't pertain to your problem.\n\nTo fix your problem, boot to your Windows CD and perform a "repair installation". \n\nHere are instructions, with screen shots, on how to do that:\n\nhttp://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm#How%20to%20Repair%20Windows%20XP%20by%20Installing%20Over%20top%20of%20Existing%20Setup:\n\nNote: When you get to the page you may have to scroll to the link that says "How To Run A Repair Install"

Well, you could try getting the CD drive's drivers by going to the manufacturer's web site and installing them, and you could download Windows XP SP2 at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx download SP2 install it, restart and then go to http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/update/downloadinstall.mspx so if there are any new updates that you need, they are brought to you automatically.\n\n\n\nHope this helps!\n-crad010

to do this legally, you need to purchase an additional upgrade licence from microsoft.\n\nif you dont care about the legality, u need an XP home Cd and install key. Just pop the cd in the drive and let it auto run.
