Windows XP
 Windows XP is a Microsoft operating system. An
upgrade to this operating system is available to those eligible under
the terms of a campus-wide license agreement with Microsoft Corp. to
various groups at Columbia. This product can be installed on eligible
systems used for your Columbia-related work.
If you need help with this software after installing it on a home
computer, please get support from a third-party service provider in
your local area. One option is a company called Techs in a
Sec, with whom Columbia has arranged a discount.
(Please check your eligibility to download Windows XP at our Microsoft Campus License Agreement information page.)
Note: Please make sure your computer meets the necessary requirements to install Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
- Download the ISO image (required UNI login):
- Save the ISO image to your hard drive, and make a note of where you saved it.
- The ISO image windowsxpsp2.iso must be recorded to a blank, writeable CD. Please follow the instructions of your burning utility to record the ISO to a CD.
If you do not have ISO burning software, you can obtain any of a number of unsupported applications: the commercial Nero, or freeware applications such as ISORecorder and CDBurnerXP.
- ISORecorder: After installation just right-click the ISO and choose Burn Image to CD.
- CDBurnerXP: After installation launch the program from the start menu and choose File → Burn Image to CD. Instructions are also available on CDBurnerXP's website.
- After the ISO has been recorded, start your computer using the CD you just burned.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation/configuration of Windows XP.
