When completing P5 of the CS3 assignment, I chose to completely re-format an existing hard drive and re-install the Microsoft Windows XP system on it. By booting the computer from a CD drive, the hard drive was formatted and a clean install of the operating system was installed upon it. The installation took about 90 minutes due to the system being made of legacy equipment. Upon completion of the software installation, a wireless adapter was then installed as to allow connection to the internet. This allowed for activation of the Windows XP system.
Furthermore, 5 existing legacy computer towers were upgraded on the side bench of the computer room. This involved the upgrade and installation of hardware such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and Graphics/ Networking cards. The hard drives we re-formatted could be interchanged between the 5 towers, meaning that they could be used by individuals for further use with the Computer Systems unit.
