domain setup

On W98, I can go into the Control Panel-> Client for MS
Networks, and configure my pc as part of an NT Domain.
When I reboot my PC, I then get prompted not only for
User Name and Password, but also for a Domain.

How do I go about setting up the same thing with Windows
XP?
Also, do I need a Windows XP CD to set this up? The
reason I ask this is because I dont have one. When I
bought my notebook from Toshiba, I got 3 recovery CDs but
did not get a Windows XP CD.

Thank you.
 
The answer is: it depends. If you have WinXP Home Edition, it cannot join a
domain.
For that, you need WinXP Pro.
 
Hi,

If you have XP Home, it cannot be joined to a domain. Here is a KB article
that explains how to join a domain with XP Pro:
