Fastest Windows XP, But Fully Functional by the one and only eXPerience.

To install Windows TinyXP from this CD, set your PC up so it will boot from the CD-ROM in the PC?s BIOS.

You cannot install TinyXP as an ?upgrade? from within Windows.

This TinyXP now has a ?Repair Option? (Option 9) where you can install Windows the way you want, your own username, regional and language options etc. One file was hacked in this untweaked ?attended? version so that you can see the product key on the actual installation screen as you install Windows. The hacked file is for installation purposes only and never ends up on your system. This #9 option in the boot menu for XP is the same as option #2 except in #2 it is an unattended installation and in #9 it is a standard install where you need to click next, etc.

Or you can choose any of the other eight different flavours of TinyXP. Options 1 to 8 are all unattended and vary in size and whether they install with the added drivers or not.

Only install TinyXP onto a freshly formatted partition or hard disk. There is no upgrade option available in TinyXP, because the option is removed. You do not need any product key in this release - the installation of TinyXP is unattended, once you choose the drive or partition on which to install TinyXP.

Even on option nine, the product key is filled in for you on the screen, you simply click next without having to type a key in.

All installations are set to US English.
