Boot Windows XP Setup

After the "XP-Pro.img" file is finished being created, locate the "XP-Pro.img" file with the "Choose Disk C..." or type in the field next to the button:

~/XP-Pro.img


In the "Choose Disk E..." field, specify the Windows_XP.img file that you (should have) created in step 1 by typing in the field next to the "Choose Disk D..." button:

~/Windows_XP.img

If you used different names for either of these disk images, be sure to use the names you specified.



In WinTel, Select the "Boot from CD-ROM" option.

Your screen should look similar to the screen below:

 


Now that we have our boot CD-ROM E: image specified, disk C: image specified, and selected to boot from CD-ROM we are ready to start the emulator. Click on the "Boot Virtual Machine" button (or just hit return).


Welcome to Windows Setup!

Hit the "Enter" key to start installation.


 
You will have to agree to the Microsoft license before continuing.  

 
Select the "disk" to install Windows onto. We use the default, which should be the same size of the WinTel disk image you created earlier. The 2nd 100 MB partition is our Windows additions disk image that can be used after Windows is installed to make Windows more compatible with WinTel.  

 
Choose your desired file system. We selected the default "NTFS" file system.  

 
Our "C:" disk image must be formatted to be used.  

 
Setup will create a list of files to copy. This may take a moment or two on PowerPC Macs, and only a second or two on Intel Macs.  

 
Setup will take a little while to copy the files on PowerPC Macs, it should only take about 5 minutes on Intel Macs. This may be a good time to take a coffee break or just stretch your legs.  

 

 
After copying files, Setup will report that it initializes the configuration, then Setup will restart.  

 
And XP will boot. If you are prompted to press a button to boot off the CD, do not press a button, we do not want to boot off the CD-ROM any longer, we want to boot of the C: drive.  

 
Setup should then continue with the installation. It is normal to stay on this screen for about a half hour on PowerPC Macs, and for a few minutes on Intel Macs.
