Installing XP on a new hard drive on a machine with no current hard drive

by then4trix . Updated 18 years, 3 months ago

I was given an old PC from a close friend of mine that he no longer needed, but he took the hard drive for safety reasons.

My question is this. I purchased a new hard drive and have an XP reinstall disc from my current Dell PC, and want to know how to get the XP installed on the current hard drive. The computer is a Dell, and about a 1 ghz with a gig of ram. This computer is for my daughters (age 7, 5) and its basically for them to get to know computers and not screw up mine.

Can anyone tell me the simplest way to get this done? Or if you need any more information, I would be happy to give it to you. Thanks in advance.
