Let’s start with process. Down below are the steps mentioned with screenshots:

Detailed steps on Windows XP installation:

1. Install Virtual Box and open Virtual box which should look like this



2. Click new, blue icon at the top left side of the application.



3. After clicking new, a yellow box will pop up.

You need to type in the details before you proceed:

Please enter the details as follows: Name: Any name you’d like Type: Choose Microsoft windows (in our case) Version: Choose Windows XP 32 bit (in our case)

After filling details click next button marked with red circle.



4. Now you will see next screen asking memory size.

Memory size: 1024 MB (in our case)You can either use the slider or you can just write it down there.

Click next once you are done.



5. Click create a virtual hard drive now.

Click create once you are done.



6. Now select Fixed size and then click next



7. Type the Name you’d likeThen enter the size 10 GB (in our case) or you can use the slider

Then click create as marked red in the snapshot



8. Now you will see this screen and it will take few minutes so don’t be panic. So wait and watch.



9. Bravo! You just created virtual configurations. This is how it should look like. You can see the details circled in black. The details you entered while creating virtual configurations Remember?

10.Now we will click settings, a window will pop up. On that window we will select storage tab.



11.It will look like this.



After choosing storage tab then click on empty just under “yourname.vhd”. Then click that cd icon to the right end of the application. You will see the option “choose a virtual cd/dvd disk file”. Select the option.

12. A window will pop up as you select that option. Once the window will open then you need to open your downloaded windows XP ISO file like I opened it in the snapshot.



13. Now it should look like the one circled in my snapshot. After that go to USB tab.Follow the arrow in my snapshot.



14. USB tab would look something like this.



Then uncheck the option “Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller” and click OK.



4. INSTALLING OF WINDOWS XP1. Now click start on the top right side of the application.



2. Cool! Now you’ve started the virtual machine. It will direct you to this blue screen.

Then press enter on your keyboard. Now you are about to start the installation of Windows XP



3. Now press F8 on your keyboard to proceed.



4. Now press C to create a partition.



5. Press enter to create the partition.



6. Wow! You’ve just created the partition. Now press enter again to start the installation.

Can you see “C: Partition1 (new Raw)”? Well that’s your new partition on which you are going to install Windows XP also known as C:\ Drive. You will see this drive later once you’ve installed the windows.



7. Now please pay attention. Select the third option “Format the partition using the NTFS file system”.

The reason is that the benefit of formatting FAT32 is that all operating systems will recognize your flash drive, whether it be Windows, OSX, or Linux. If you format NTFS you will only be able to use the drive on Windows based operating systems. One of the downsides to FAT32 is that the maximum size for a single file is 4GB, however if you format as NTFS this problem will be resolved.



8. You will see the process like this. So let it complete and please do not turn off the system.



9. Once the previous process has been completed your system will restart and then you will see this window.

You are installing windows XP.



10.

Click next.



11. Fill the details and click next.

13. In this window either you can click next or you type your password for your privacy or security options.



14. You can change the time and time zone by using drop down menu if it is incorrect.
