So I install regular XP first and then TinyXP over top of it? I'm about to install XP now. I'm just going to click on "setup" and follow the instructions I guess. |

Well, I started it. I picked the "advanced" setup because I wanted to get rid of everything on the hard drive (I'm running nothing but MAME and MaLa on this machine. I've never done this before and I'm a bit nervous - I hope I don't ruin the computer. It sas it will take approximately 73 minutes to install it. Oh, I also didn't see anything having to do with "partitions" and I'm NOT connected to the internet. Am I in trouble already? |

Crap. The computer rebooted (which looked like part of the install process) but the screen has been blank for about 15 minutes (which seems unusual). |

Don't worry about ruining the computer because if you screw up the install, all you need to do is format the drive again and restart. Theres really no way you can permanently mess up a computer by screwing up the install since you can always start over and try again. |
