NTFS is the preferred method, supporting a larger amount of disk space per partition than FAT, and including security features at the file system level. NTFS also includes system level compression. There are almost no situations anymore where choosing FAT would be preferable. It is highly recommended to avoid Quick Format, as this skips an important process that checks the hard drive for errors or bad sectors.
This scan is what consumes the majority of the time taken when performing a full format. If there are errors on a disk at the physical level, it's best to catch them now rather than later. Wait for the format to complete. The system will now format the partition.
The length of time this process requires depends on the speed and size of the drive. In general, the larger the partition, the longer the process will take. Wait for the Setup files to copy. Windows will now start copying files from the installation disc and prompt you to reboot the computer when the process is completed.
Allow the computer to boot normally. You will see the message asking you to press a key to boot from CD. Ignore it and allow the computer to continue booting from the hard drive. You will see the Windows logo as the Setup program loads.
Wait for the installation to proceed. After the Windows logo goes away, you will see a list of steps remaining on the left side of the screen, and tips for using windows on the right.
The time remaining for the installation will be displayed below the list of steps remaining. It is normal for the screen to flicker, turn on and off, or resize during this process.
Choose your language and region settings. During the installation process a dialog window will appear, asking you to choose your Regional settings. Select appropriate settings native to your area. Click the Next button when that is completed.
Enter your full name if you want. Enter your Product Key. You will not be able to complete the installation process without a valid Product Key. Click "Next" to continue. Some versions of Windows will not ask for the Product Key until installation is complete. This will be the name that represents the computer on a network. Windows sets a default name, but you can change it if you would like. You can also set a password for the Administrator account. This is optional, but recommended for public computers.
Select your time zone. Choose your network settings. If you are installing Windows XP in a corporate or academic environment, check with the system administrator, though Typical Settings will most likely work.
You can typically leave the workgroup name set to default. Wait for the installation to finalize. This will only take a few minutes, and the computer will reboot when it is finished installing.
Once the computer reboots, you will be taken to the Windows XP desktop. At this point, installation is complete, though there are a few things left to do before Windows is completely usable.. Part 3. Set your display preferences. Once Windows loads, you will be told that Windows will automatically configure your display.
Click OK to start the configuration. Your screen will flash a couple times, and then you will be asked if you can read the box that appears. Set your connection preferences.

Once the directory has been created, move your DOS files to the directory or install the DOS software directly into the directory.
If you want to run Windows XP - and you have a valid license to install Windows XP - a safer option is to run it in a virtual machine. Setting up a virtual machine is also very technical, but if you make a mistake with it you will not harm your computer. I've read that virtual machine will not work with hardware that is dependent on the XP drivers.
What I'm finding in my research is mostly folks wanting to either install 10 on a machine with XP, or upgraded XP to I'm pretty much wanting to go backwards. I too want to dual boot XP on my Windows 10 machine. Difference is that my laptop came with Windows 8 and was recently upgraded to Windows I have found that I can start the process by holding f9 when starting Windows 10 which gives me a boot option menu to boot from usb or cd.
The process runs until Windows tries to start. Have searched for a work around. Have found several that claim to work with Windows 8, as yet nothing fits and works. I need to run XP program that does not interact well with later versions of Windows. I do not need internet access so updates are not an issue. I tried the virtualization method, and cannot get usb ports to run correctly. I have been informed that this is an issue with virtualizing os.
My concern was that the newer hardware may not be compatible with XP, and that seems to be my issue. My 2 cents worth has been added.
