Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 setup instructions

Published February 21, 2005

Charlie Owen’s new blog is up and running, and his first substantive post includes some very detailed content for anyone thinking of going the do-it-yourself Media Center route. His collection of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Setup Instructions consist of four PDF files that explain (and show in great detail) how to back up and restore WMP10 licenses; replace your video card and add a TV tuner; add a second hard drive; and install an OEM copy of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.

In all, these documents list more than 100 steps, complete with screenshots and tips. Even if you’re sure you know what you’re doing, this is a useful checklist to make sure you haven’t forgotten anything.

I write stuff. Mostly about Windows. Sometimes I get paid for it.
