Unable to Install Windows XP from the Installation Disk: BSOD Occurs
Microsoft Windows XP Installation Guidelines
Before we begin to dive-in to the deeper discussion on installation of Microsoft Windows XP Operating System, let us check first for the system requirements of the said operating system. System requirements or hardware requirements is the list of hardware integrated into your hardware or computer system so that a specific software or application works fine. There are instances that lower than the minimum specification requirements, the software or application works but I assure you that you might encounter problems during operations. So better to follow the minimum requirements or stick to the recommended hardware. There are branded computers and packages that are already tuned-up to Microsoft Windows XP operating system. This is the better one because every accessory installed inside your operating system from the bundle of Microsoft Windows XP you had, works so fine.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition requires the following hardware so that your installation becomes successful:
Pentium Processor (233 Mhz or higher)
Minimum of 64 MB of memory
Minimum of 1.5 GB of hard disk space
Optical Drive (For Installation)
Keyboard
Mouse
Video Card (SVGA)
Monitor
Sound Card (Optional)
Speakers (Optional)
Headphones (Optional)
Minimum requirements don’t mean that your Microsoft Windows XP works better on this hardware. Microsoft recommends that your processor must be or at least 300 MHZ in speed; your memory is 128 MB so that Microsoft Windows XP works fine.
Other version of Microsoft Windows XP requires also the same as listed above. You may also visit the Microsoft Support site (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us) for other information about Microsoft Windows XP and its hardware requirements.
Now, since you have encountered errors during installation, we need to know what kind of installer you have in your hand. This is a very important thing to know because for every versions or package of installers we had, had its own requirements. Like what we have shown above, the hardware requirements. Beside on hardware requirements we have the so called upgrade version of Microsoft Windows Operating System. Upgrade version of Microsoft Windows XP Operating System requires the previous version of windows for you to able to install the upgrade version of Microsoft Windows XP Upgrade Version Installation disk.
Yes, I know that but how could I know if this copy of installation disk I have in my hand is an upgrade version of Microsoft Windows XP operating system or not? That was a very intelligence question. You Microsoft Windows XP installation disk come with packaging. On your packaging or even in the label of the compact disk or the installation disk you will read there the version and type of your installation disk. Simply, you will find the word “upgrade version” if it is an upgrade version. If not you may read something like “home”, “standard” or “professional”.
My installation disk is not enclosed in packaging. There is no label on the disk that reads like you have mention. Maybe your copy is a pirated copy you are a victim of software counter feighting.
By the way, If your copy is not an upgrade version, most of the problem arises during installation are because of the following:
Bad/busted memory module.
Hard disk problem.
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM reading problem.
Scratched Installation Disk
So, you need to fix the above hardware so that you can proceed on your installation. You may call a computer technician to fix your hardware if you can’t.
Hope that this information will help to solve your installation problem.
