Scroll down and click on the “Download” button next to the latest version of Hiren’s BootCD PE (Preinstallation Environment). This is a large file (about 1.5 GB) that contains Mini Windows XP and other useful utilities.

After downloading the ISO file, you need to burn it to a CD or USB drive using a software that can create bootable media. For example, you can use Rufus, which is a free and easy-to-use tool that works on Windows.

Download and run Rufus, then select your CD or USB drive as the “Device”. Click on the “SELECT” button and browse to the location of the ISO file. Make sure the “Boot selection” is set to “Disk or ISO image” and the “Image option” is set to “Standard Windows installation”. Click on the “START” button and wait for the process to finish.

Now you have a bootable CD or USB drive with Mini Windows XP. To use it, you need to restart your computer and change the boot order in the BIOS or UEFI settings. This may vary depending on your PC model and manufacturer, but usually you can access the settings by pressing a key such as F2, F10, F12, or Esc during startup.

Once you are in the BIOS or UEFI settings, look for an option that lets you choose the boot device or priority. Select your CD or USB drive as the first option and save the changes. Your computer should then boot from Mini Windows XP.

When you boot from Mini Windows XP, you will see a menu with several options. Choose “Mini Windows XP” and press Enter. You will then see a desktop with some icons and a taskbar. You can use Mini Windows XP as a normal Windows system, but with some limitations and differences.

For example, you can access your hard drive partitions and files using the “My Computer” icon. You can also run some basic programs such as Notepad, Calculator, Paint, Wordpad, etc. However, you cannot install new software or drivers on Mini Windows XP. You can also use some of the tools included in Hiren’s BootCD PE, such as antivirus scanners, disk utilities, backup and recovery tools, etc. To access them, click on the “HBCD Menu” icon on the desktop.

To exit Mini Windows XP, click on the “Start” button and choose “Shut Down”. Then remove your CD or USB drive and restart your computer normally.
