New Technology File System (NTFS)
The New Technology File System (NTFS) is used with the Windows XP, 2000, and NT operating systems. The main reason for creating the NTFS file system is that the FAT file system is too limited to provide advanced features. The NTFS file system provides added features like file and directory security and system access control. NTFS allows an administrator to set permissions on files and folders to specify which users have access to them and the level of access that is permitted. The original version of NTFS that was released with Windows NT is now referred to as NTFS 4. Windows XP and 2000 use NTFS 5. In addition to NTFS, Windows XP and 2000 support the FAT16 and FAT32 file systems.

Windows XP Series Home Edition
*Improved software and hardware compatibility *Simplified security such as Simple File Sharing versus Windows 2000 Sharing, *New log-on screen *Fast user switching *Enhanced multimedia support, and DirectX 8.1 multimedia libraries for gaming. *By default, each user in XP Home Edition is automatically assigned to the Owners local group. This is the Windows XP equivalent of the Windows 2000 Administrator account. Anyone who logs on to a Home Edition machine will have full control of the operating system. However, it does include a Restricted Users group, which grants limited access for the selected users. Home Edition XP Home Edition is intended for inexperienced users who do not need to connect to corporate networks and do not require the extra security options that Windows XP Professional contains. The Home Edition includes many enhancements and features.

Windows XP Series Professional Edition
The kernel of Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional operating systems are identical. The file and folder management, web browser, and most of the system management tools and troubleshooting tools are also the same. XP Professional also includes support for high-performance hardware, such as a dual-processor motherboard. Windows XP Professional contains several features that are not included in Windows XP Home Edition. The Remote Desktop feature allows mobile users to remotely access their corporate desktop. System administrators now have the ability to remotely administer clients on a network. Professional Edition The XP Professional operating system includes everything that the Home Edition provides, plus all the networking and security components that are required to join a Windows NT, 2000, or XP domain in a corporate network.

Windows XP Professional includes the Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server software not found in the Home Edition. IIS for XP Professional is designed for users developing a Web service, for home, or for office use. IIS Professional can only service 10 client connections and does not have all the features or power of the server versions. Professional Edition also includes a change and configuration management tool known as IntelliMirror. IntelliMirror uses policy-based Change and Configuration Management to enable user data, software, and settings to follow them throughout a distributed computing environment. Professional Edition Windows XP Professional provides added operating system management features. Automated System Recovery (ASR) aids in system recovery from a catastrophic error that might render the system unbootable. Windows XP Professional supports both basic and dynamic disks. The Home Edition supports only the basic disk type.

The Professional Edition can be used to logon to an Active Directory domain. Group Policy for domain users can also be supported. Roaming profiles – With Windows XP Professional, users have the ability to log on to any computer on the network and automatically receive their customized settings. The user profile is stored in a shared network folder. When the user logs onto a machine, the information in the folder is copied over to the hard disk of the machine being used. When the user logs off, the profile information is copied back to shared network folder. Professional Edition Corporate deployment – Windows XP Professional is designed for use in corporate networks, and contains support for multiple languages. XP professional also provides Sysprep support, which is used to install the operating system on multiple machines in a large or corporate network.

Windows XP Professional contains additional security features. Unlike XP Home edition, only the Administrator or users given administrator privileges will have full control of the operating system. The Default Groups for XP Professional are shown below. The Backup Operators, Power Users, or Replicator groups do not exist in Windows XP Home Edition. The Home Edition has the Owners Local Group, with administrator privileges and a Restricted Users Group, which grants limited access to the operating system for the selected users.

* The user interface for IP Security. Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) ensures private, secure communications over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, through cryptographic security services. * Network Monitor - You can obtain information about an active connection. *Simple TCP/IP Services provides support for optional TCP/IP protocol services needed to communicate with other systems that require these protocol services. *Support for Novell NetWare - IPX/SPX Client Service for NetWare, allows you to access file and print resources on NetWare servers. Note: Due to its dependency on the IPX/SPX protocol, Client Service for NetWare is not available on Windows XP 64-Bit Edition. Service Advertising Protocol (SAP Agent) Used by NetWare networks to advertise file and print services. Professional Edition XP Professional provides added networking features that are needed when deploying the operating system in a large corporate network. These include: * Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method of managing network hosts such as workstation or server computers, routers, bridges, and hubs from a centrally located computer running network management software. SNMP can be used to Configure remote devices, Monitor network performance, Detect network faults or inappropriate access, and Audit network usage.

XP Hardware Requirements
Minimum system requirements for Windows XP Professional Computer/Processor: 233 MHz or higher Pentium-compatible CPU. Memory: At least 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM; with 128 MB recommended. Hard Disk: At least 1.5 GB of available hard disk space. Drive: CD-ROM or DVD drive. Display: Super VGA adapter and monitor with 800 x 600 resolution or higher. Keyboard: Required. Mouse: Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device. Sound card: Speakers or headphones. CPU Support: Windows XP Professional supports single and dual CPU systems.

Update the BIOS Before installing Windows XP you should check the version of your system BIOS. If the BIOS is outdated it can cause problems with the disk partitioning, power management, peripheral configuration, other crucial low level functions and new features might not be supported. Identify the BIOS manufacture and see if an update is available. Generally speaking, if there is a newer version you should update the BIOS before installing any new operating system.

Check for Hardware and Software Compatibility
Check the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) on the installation CD-ROM (HCL.TXT) file in the Support folder. For the most current information go to You can search for a particular device or view the entire HCL. Use the Compatibility tool or the Upgrade Advisor to make sure that the system, devices, and software are going to work with Windows XP. The Upgrade Advisor is a tool that checks your system hardware and software to see if it is ready for upgrade to Windows XP.

To automatically start the Upgrade Advisor just insert the XP Installation CD and the auto-run feature should start up the Setup Welcome window where you select Check system compatibility.

The manual way to start the Upgrade Advisor is to insert the XP Installation CD and from the Run line type the following: E:\ i386\WINNT32 /checkupgradeonly (Where E: is your CD) Either method will execute the same program which will produce a report named upgrade.txt. It will tell you if there are any compatibility issues.

If you run Upgrade Advisor while you are connected to the Internet, and if your system needs updates that are available on the Windows Update Web site, Upgrade Advisor will find and install the updates for you.

The Advisor will list items that are not compatible. Click on the Details Box to get additional information about the item.

The Upgrade Advisor will produce a report named upgrade.txt. And place it in the C:\Winnt folder of the 2000 client machine (C:\Windows in 9x). It will give a complete listing of any compatibility issues.

The Files and Settings Transfer Wizard
The Files and Settings Transfer Wizard allows the user to migrate settings and files from an old computer to a new computer. The user can save settings from any 32-bit version of Windows. Several options enable saved files and settings to be restored on Windows XP Home Edition or Professional Edition: A direct connection with a serial cable can be made between two computers. The computers can be connected over a network. Files can be compressed and saved to removable media, such as a floppy disk, Zip disk, or CD-RW. A removable drive or network drive can be used to transfer data. Another important feature for Windows XP is the User State Migration Tool (USMT). It is similar to the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. The USMT is used by IT administrators who are performing large deployments of XP Professional in a corporate environment.

Eligibility for In-place Upgrade to XP
Previous Version Windows XP Windows XP Home Edition Professional Windows NO NO Any Evaluation Version NO NO Any Server Version NO NO Windows NO NO Windows 98/Windows 98 SE YES YES Windows Me YES YES Windows NT Workstation NO NO Windows NT Workstation 4.0 NO YES Windows 2000 Professional NO YES Windows XP Home Edition YES

Three Types of Installations
Upgrading an existing version – will convert Windows 98, 98-SE, or Me into Windows XP Home or Professional Edition. Windows NT Workstation 4.0 with Service Pack 6, or Windows 2000 Professional can be upgraded to Windows XP Professional. Windows XP will not upgrade from Windows 3.1 or 95. Clean install – sets up a fresh copy of Windows XP. This new copy will completely replace any previous versions of Windows installed on the computer. For Windows 3.1 or 95 a clean install must be preformed since they are not supported for for an upgrade. Dual boot installation – A new version of Windows is installed on a new partition separate from the current version. When the installation is complete, the user will be able to choose the operating system from which to boot.

Upgrading to Windows XP
Before you begin an upgrade, prepare the system: Scan the hard drive for viruses using current version of antivirus software. Back up important files. Clean up the hard drive, run Disk Defragmenter and ScanDisk (9x) or Chkdsk (2K). If possible upgrade or flash the BIOS for your motherboard with the latest version. If you have a compressed hard drive, uncompress the drive. If you are using an NTFS drive with Windows NT file compression you don’t need to uncompress it. Remove any hardware and software that is not compatible with Windows XP. If you are upgrading hardware or software and the upgrades are compatible with the currently installed OS, perform the upgrades and verify that they are working. If the computer to be upgraded is running Windows 98 and is a member of a domain create a computer account in that domain. A Windows 98 client does not require a computer account to be a member of a domain, but Windows XP/2000 clients do.

Upgrading to Windows XP
For an upgrade from Windows 98 or Windows ME to Windows XP, the setup program tries to convert whatever registry information it can to Windows XP. At the end of the installation process, you are given the opportunity to join a domain. For Windows NT and Windows upgrades, almost every registry entry is carried forward into the new OS. The information about a domain is not requested because it is copied from the current OS into Windows XP. Note: Windows XP has an uninstall utility that allows you to revert back to Windows 98 if necessary. The uninstall tool will not work if you convert FAT to NTFS.

Partitioning and Formatting
As in Windows 2000, the FDISK partitioning utility is not needed. Windows XP Setup provides the partitioning and formatting functions needed to prepare a hard drive for the OS installation. You can use an unformatted, unpartitioned hard drive during installation. Partitions can be created, deleted and formatted in the Setup program.

The Four Main Steps in the Windows XP Installation Process
1. File Copy This step copies the Windows Setup files to a folder on the partition where they can run when the system is restarted. If the system is booted from a CD, the Setup skips this step and copies files directly from the CD. 2. Text Mode Setup During a clean installation, the user selects the partition where the Windows XP system files will be installed. The partition can be created and formatted in this step. 3. GUI Mode Setup Windows Setup uses a graphical wizard to guide the user through the regional settings, product key, computer name, and administrator password. 4. Windows Welcome As the last portion of the Setup process, the user has the option to create user accounts and activate Windows before using it for the first time.

Note: Windows 95 is not upgradeable to Windows XP.
Installing Windows XP To install Windows XP, you need to run the appropriate Windows XP Setup program, either XP.exe or Winnt32.exe. XP.exe and Winnt32.exe are both referred to as "Setup." The type of setup that you need to run is determined as follows: * For a clean installation or upgrade from Windows NT 4, or XP Home Edition run D:\i386\winnt32 (where D: is your CD) * For a clean installation or upgrade from Windows 98, 98-SE or Windows ME, run XP.exe from within the current OS. Note: Windows 95 is not upgradeable to Windows XP.

Activating Windows XP Windows XP includes a new feature called Windows Product Activation (WPA). As in previous versions of Windows, the user must enter a 25-character product key during the Setup process. The new requirement added by WPA is within 30 days after the installation the user must activate the installation. Businesses that purchase volume licensing media do not require activation. Windows XP transmits an encrypted file that serves as a fingerprint. This fingerprint has a list of key components of the system including video card, primary hard disk, disk controller, CD-ROM drive, network adapter, CPU and RAM. If four or more components form a list of ten are changed on the computer with in a 120 day period the activation will be rejected. WPA was designed to enforce the most common type of software piracy, copying.

Activating Windows XP The Windows Product Activation (WPA) process can be completed by connecting to the Microsoft activation server over the Internet.

Activating Windows XP The Windows Product Activation (WPA) process can also be completed by calling a toll-free number and speaking with a customer service representative. You will receive a 42 character code to enter on your computer.

Setting Up A Dual Boot You can configure Windows XP to set up a dual boot with another operating system. Start the installation as you would for a clean install on a PC with another operating system already installed. When given the opportunity, choose to install Windows XP on a different partition than the other OS. Windows XP recognizes that another OS is installed and sets up the Startup menu to offer it as an option for booting. After the installation, when you boot with a dual boot, the start up menu automatically appears asking you to select an operating system.

Setting Up A Dual Boot The first active partition (drive C:) has to be set up with a file system that both operating systems understand. For instance if you are setting up a dual boot with Windows 98, use the FAT file system. On a partition greater than 2 GB FAT32 will automatically be chosen. Install the Windows 98 operating system first, then install Windows XP on a different partition. When you install Windows XP on a different partition, (active or extended), it places the boot-up files on the first active partition which Microsoft calls the system partition. This causes XP to initiate the boot rather than the 98 operating system. The rest of the XP operating system is installed on the second partition, which Microsoft calls the boot partition. Windows NT and 2000 manage dual booting the same way. Note: When setting up a dual boot, always install the earlier operating system first.

Setting Up A Dual Boot Earlier Windows operating systems were not aware of applications installed under the other OS in a dual boot, but Windows XP is. If you set up a dual boot between Windows XP and Windows 98, an application installed under Windows 98 can be executed from Windows XP. You can use Windows XP Explorer to locate the program file. Double-click the application to run it from Windows XP. This makes it easier to implement a dual boot because you don’t have to install application under both OS’s.

Windows XP Boot Process
Windows XP follows the same Boot-up Sequence as Windows 2000. The Preboot Sequence The first step in the boot process is the POST. Then the computer locates the boot device and loads the Master Boot Record (MBR) into memory. The MBR locates the active partition and loads it into memory. The Boot Sequence in the Windows NT Family has 5 files, *3 are required. * NTLDR starts the file system and reads the BOOT.INI file * BOOT.INI enables the on-screen display of the boot menu and gives the path to the OS. BOOTSECT.DOS is created for dual booting. * NTDETECT gathers information about the computer hardware NTBOOTDD.SYS is created when using SCSI hard drives.

Windows XP Boot Process
The Kernel Load Phase begins by loading the NTOSKRNL.EXE followed by the HAL.DLL file. At this point the NTLDR reads the SYSTEM registry key into RAM and selects the hardware configuration stored in the Registry. The Kernel Initialization Phase The kernel initializes, recognizing everything that was previously loaded. Then the NTLDR gives control to the operating system kernel. Device drivers are loaded and Services are started. NTOSKRNL.EXE loads the WINLOGON.EXE program which displays the Windows XP logon screen. The final step in the bootup process begins with the logon screen. A boot is not complete until a user logs on. Once a user logs on, the clone of the Current Control Set value is copied to the Last Known Good control set value in the Registry.

Automated System Recovery (ASR)
To Create an ASR Backup and Disk Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Backup to run the Backup program. The Windows XP Backup Utility is displayed. Click the Automated System Recovery Wizard button on the Welcome tab.

The ASR Wizard works by writing operating system files onto backup media, and the hard disk configuration information to floppy disk. You will need both in order to recover from a system failure.

You need to choose a different drive than the default drive “A” because the backup could be anywhere from 1 to 2 GB. It can NOT be on the drive containing the OS, because as part of the recovery process, that drive will be formatted and you would loose the backup file!

The system will create a list of all files and then start the backup processes, creating a disk-backup-file.

Once the disk-backup is done, you will be prompted for a floppy disk (blank , formatted) to store some ASR-data Insert a blank formatted 3.5 floppy disk in Drive A:. Remove the disk and label it Automated System Recovery Disk with the current date.

Creating a Boot Disk You can create an MS-DOS startup disk, which can be very helpful for recovering data files, and it maybe needed to work with some Flash BIOS update disks. To create the disk follow these steps: 1: Place a floppy disk in your (A:) drive. 2: Open MY COMPUTER, right click on on the 3½ Floppy (A:) Icon and then select FORMAT. 3: On the Format 3½ Floppy (A:) Menu you have several options. Select “Create an MS-DOS startup disk”. 4: Click on the Start Box. 5: After it has finished, remove the disk and Label it MS-DOS startup disk.
