1107789	2010-06-07 23:39:00	New everything except the uninstalled XP operating system. i5 cpu, Raedon HD 5750 Graphics board, 1TB HD, ASUS P7P55D-ELX MB Now what? I need a walkthrough on how to fire up the system so I don't stuff it up. Thanks for any ideas (maybe take it to an expert?) David	DavidW (532)

You cant uninstall XP, unless you format the hdd Wont need to do that with a new system as no O/s is install, the BIOS will go through all media until it finds the install CD..... You cant install XP, without an active partition!, XP creates and formats both so no problem!	SolMiester (139)
1107796	2010-06-08 04:42:00	Yeah why XP? New system, new O/S, no reason to stick with XP now 7 is out.	pctek (84)
