Small procedural error has, effectively, killed the whole machine. I do love the huge bright monitor, however.

Pitfalls?
Some years ago I attached a printer to my brothers PC on which he did all his architectural stuff for his degree. He had a couple of specialised CAD programs on there. A few hours and much swearing later the PC was effectively a paperweight

However in your instance it should be a pretty simple procedure. Just accept the default settings for everything and the software will take care of it all for you. I assume you have the licese key for the XP and Office disc's right?
