October 8, 2013 - Control Panel, Partitioning, Installing Windows XP

Today we started working in the control panel and learning about the different settings and programs inside of it. We also used gparted to partition our Compaq's hard drive to install Windows XP on them. We ran both the XP installer and gparted from a bootable live USB stick that we created using LiLi (at least I personally used either Sardu or LiLi) and WinSetupFromUSB. We also installed all the drivers for the Compaqs (after we figured out using msinfo32 to the exact model of them).
