Protech OS Installation

How to Install Protech OS ? [For Absolute Beginners]
I am writing this tutorial for people who are new to Linux Distro's and Installation. Considered you have Windows XP Installed already in your computer. And this Installation method best suitable for Dual Booting option(Both Windows & Linux). Also including Screenshots for better clarity in understanding. Partitioning It would be great if you have Hiren Boot Disk for partitioning and formatting a part of the disk (may be complete) to allot it for Protech Installation. Boot the Hiren Disk and Resize or Create the partition in which you like to perform the installation. The format must be EXT2 or EXT3. I normally prefer Norton Partion Magic which is available as the first option in that Hiren Boot Menu -> Partition Tools . Hiren actually consist of many useful disk, recovery and security related tools. Take a look at the sample screenshot below.
Once done with this step, you will see a GUI Partition window where you can simply complete the Partition Job with the help of mouse if the driver available by default in the Hiren CD. * Remember you must have define the partition space for protech as atleast 5GB. Load the Protech CD
Reboot the computer after partitioning and formatting done. Now place the Protech OS CD into the CD Drive and Boot the computer using Protech. Follow the below steps to begin the Installation Process. 1 . Select Install or Upgrade option available as first in the Boot Menu Screen. 2. If you like to do any Memory or CD/DVD Error check you may do so by selecting the 3 rd and 4 th options. 3. Wait till it loads into desktop. As by default it boots as Live OS we must wait till the Desktop Loads Successfully. Also remember Protech is based on Ubuntu. Hence it is possible to use the Software Repository of Ubuntu as well as Debian by default. 4. Once loaded into the Desktop you can navigate the controls and options by simply doing Right Click in the Mouse.
5 . Application TAB Consist of Editors, Multimedia, Net, Programming and System Utilties. 6 . Next comes the Security Tools option, the one differentiate Protech OS from other Security Distributions. It actually contains a good recognized Security Software that one should play with. 7. You may change the default them to your wish in the Fluxbox Menu. 8 . Let's move on to "HOME" to begin the Installation Process. In the New Window you will see the only icon named as Install when you are in Live CD. 9. In the Pop up window you can select the default setups need to be configured. This is similar to Windows or Ubuntu Installation Steps. 10 . It is very important that you must select the Partition Space alloted previously using Hiren Boot Disk. 11 . Alright ! Configure your Root login and password, then partition selection and finally begin the installation process. 12. Once its started you may need to wait for 20 mins to 30 mins ( Depending on the Processor Speed ) to transfer the Compressed files from CD to the Hard Drive. 13 . Yummy ! Installation completed and it will prompt you for Rebooting ( Remove the CD from the CD / DVD Drive ). 14. It's all done now. You are ready to use the Protech OS with various security Tools. It also works as a Best Desktop OS for me.
