    Upgrading Your Mass Market System, Part 2 - EULA


    (Page 6 of 7 )

    Accept the license agreement (after reading it of course, duh!), then next up is this screen:

    BIOS

    Just hit the Esc key here to move on to a similar looking screen with different options.

    Partition

    You probably will have one partition that is very large and it will probably be labeled as above. Highlight it and delete it by pressing the "D" key then confirm the deletion.

    Note: This is why I told you to save all important files elsewhere before.

    When you get back to this screen it should look similar to the above picture as far as the partitions go. Select the larger one and hit the "Enter" key to set up XP. Confirm the setup and prepare to sit around for about an hour and do pretty much nothing.
