my gf doesnt know anything about OS installation and i have to install new XP on her pc.Any idea how to do it with remote support ? Need simple software about this.
 
a remote install like this out of the enterprise environment is not really possible. Go over and install it on her comp while she makes you dinner ;)
 
Just walk her through it, if she's not a complete computer idiot then you'll have her up and running in like 1 hour.

^This. It's not hard to walk her through it. Insert disc, restart, wait for prompt, format drive quick ntfs, restart, install blah blah, put in info, finish. Really it's insanely simple, people are just afraid of the formatting process I guess.
 
You could fully automate the install with WINNT.SIF file and drop in the setup directory on the CD. Windows will see the CD and use the settings in the file as defaults.

You're not going to be able to deploy XP to her machine over the internet if that is what you are thinking.
 
she use torrent and can download XP image from private trackers.Then i ll connect her pc via teamviewer burn the cd and would like to install it with few clicks..
i know its damn simple! but she doesnt want to do anything about this and she afraids a lot.Last year while she was trying to format c:/ lost all data and burned the hdd..Now she thinks this is a rocket science for girls..
 
She's not afraid to torrent windows XP, but she's afraid to install it?

New GF IMHO.


But no, no possible way to remotely install it... Could just ask for a little webcam time ;)
