• Insert the disk into the drive and restart your computer. the bootable cd will then ask the user to press any key to continue to setup.

• Choose the drive you want to use as your system drive and press enter.
• On the next screen format the drive using FAT file system.
• Then the actual installation will begin and will take almost 30 minutes.
