How to Verify Hardware Compatibility with the Windows Catalog
Although the Windows XP Professional Setup Wizard automatically checks your hard-
ware and software for potential conflicts, before you install Windows XP Professional,
you should verify that your hardware is listed in the Windows Catalog. Microsoft pro-
vides tested drivers for the listed devices only. Using hardware not listed in the Win-
dows Catalog could cause problems during or after installation. To find the Windows
Catalog, go to the Windows Catolog page of the Microsoft Web site at http://
https://traloihay.net.
Note If your hardware is not in the Windows Catalog, the hardware manufacturer might be
able to provide you with a Windows XP Professional driver for the component.
What Are Disk Partitions?
The Windows XP Professional Setup program examines the hard disk to determine its
existing configuration. Setup then allows you to install Windows XP Professional on an
existing partition or to create a new partition on which to install it.
