Secure installation of Windows XP?

[Thomas Jespersen <front243 () stofanet dk>]

Hi,

I hear stories of how a new Windows XP system is infected within 
minutes. So I wonder, what is the procedure to install Windows XP in a 
safe way?

PS : In case there are any other Danes on the list, I posted a similar 
question on a Danish security newsgroup, but I got very conflicting 
responses, so I just want to know the opinion of this list.
