All Built up

[Compman15]

Just got all my parts in for my computer I am building. I have never installed WIN XP Pro on a blank hd. I think all you do it change bios to boot from cd-rom. Is there anything I need to do to the partition? Anyways does any one have any suggestions on how to make this os install easier? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Here is the final system setup.

XP Professional
Office XP Pro
MSI MS-6566E (845E Max)
'Special Edition' Western Digital 80Gb 7200RPM 8MB Cache
512 MB Crucial RAM 266mhz

Volcano 7+ w/ thermal sensor & 3 mode speed control
XTasy 32MB Graphic Card
Linksys 10/100 NIC

the install is very simple, just follow the instructions. and yes change the boot order and make the cd-rom first
