hi my mate brought a new hard drive yesterday and im going to help him
install it 2day, just need to know what i do after the disk is in. hes
replacing his old hard drive not adding to it so do i just put the windows cd
in and set the boot drive to cd rom in the settings menu?

Unplug the old drive,set new as master on IDE chain,youre correct in set BIOS
to boot to xp cd,then select install xp at info page,the rest is auto.When
all thru
with xp,shut-off computer,then put old hd as slave 1st in line on IDE
chain,readjust
new drive jumper pin also,set old as paging file for xp in system
properties,you
