Windows 7 installation and deployment related issues (2)

  
        3. Dialysis Windows7 installation CD-ROM disc file

install Windows7, believed to be the choice of many users. There should be no problem with the system installation, and everyone is also familiar with the road. However, when deploying in an enterprise environment, it is not possible to release the Windows 7 master disk one by one. Typically, we need to customize the system image (the system configuration has integrated common software) and then distribute the image for bulk deployment. Therefore, it is necessary for the administrator to have a certain understanding of the package of the Windows 7 image and its CD file.

in Windows7, Microsoft uses a mapping mode WIM file format, which is different from our familiar ghost. This is a file-based image, not a sector-based one. It is characterized by: hardware-independent, hardware-independent; multiple images can be stored in one actual file; not the same as Ghost, it can be installed on any size partition; and it allows administrators to maintain images offline. Among them, the feature of offline editing of the wim image allows administrators to adjust system settings and software.

we visit Windows7 installation CD, you can see a lot of files in the sources directory, where install.win is to install the file Windows7, boot.win is to install the boot files. These two files are the most central system installation files, of course, they also occupy a large amount of CD space. We need to use these two files when doing system image through DISM. In addition, mainly some fonts, pictures, dll files. Analysis

believe that many users have experienced Windows installation fails, there are many reasons for Windows7, it will lead to the installation can not continue (Figure 3)

4.Windows7 installation fails factor. In the author's experience, the main reason is nothing more than the incompatibility of hardware components or the hardware configuration of the system can not meet the minimum requirements of Windows7, so in the troubleshooting should focus on this aspect, less detours. The author below enumerates several of the most typical cases for analysis.

(1). Installer refused to install or start

if the hardware is not compatible with Windows7, may cause the installation to fail, or could not start the installer. So make sure that Windows 7 can detect all system hardware before installation and that it is included in the Windows 7 Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). It is recommended that you perform the necessary compatibility checks before installing Windows 7. If you have already started the installation, it is too late to check compatibility.

If you are upgrading or installing dual system installation, I think you can reboot to the original system, and then start the installation program with the following parameters were detected. "/1394debug:" enables kernel debugging on specific channels of the Firewire (IEEE1394) port. "/debug", enable kernel debugging via the COM1 or COM2 port. "/usbdebug:" enables kernel debugging by going to the USB port of a specific target device. These options put the installer in debug mode to help determine the cause of the failure. If the installer detects a hardware conflict, you can configure the hardware to eliminate the conflict.

(2). The installer or DVD media report errors

If installing Windows7 directly from the installation CD or from a network installation, you may also encounter media errors installation by issuing share The problem of failure. For the case of installing from a DVD, we can try to clean the DVD drive so that it can read the disk better, or replace the CD-ROM or CD-ROM. For enterprise users, the client generally performs shared installation from the shared release. Generally, the share does not include all the installation files, or there is a problem with the shared network connection. You can debug from these two aspects.

(3). Setup reports insufficient system resources

Microsoft recently announced Windows7 minimum hardware resource requirements for installation, ie at least 512MB of RAM and approximately 25GB of hard disk space. For some old machine users, the installer fails to start if the minimum memory requirements for Windows 7 installation are not met. If the installer can start, but it detects that there is not enough disk space, it will not be installed. Unless we rebuild the partition or delete the original partition, we have enough space to install the operating system. For such installation failures, Windows 7 will have a clear error message, and troubleshooting is of course very easy.

(4). The installer encountered suddenly stops responding

exclude all the factors above, we sometimes encounter Fortunately, the installation program suddenly stopped corresponding situation. Normally, the installation of Windows 7 was going smoothly, and suddenly we found that the installation stopped responding and stopped the installation in the current interface without any progress. In this case, we'll sometimes see error messages stop, sometimes nothing, the system crashed like a general

If there are errors prompted to install stop, but most are some stop error The obscure error code doesn't tell us exactly where the problem is. At this point, we can take notes of these error numbers or codes, then go to the Microsoft Knowledge Base (click to enter) to find out the detailed information, and then debug. At this point the installation can not be done, we usually need to press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the computer to interrupt the error, sometimes press the combination button is invalid. We need to press the power button on the computer to force the system to restart.

Under normal circumstances, once we restart the computer directly into the installer, the installation continues. In some cases, you may also see the boot menu, and if this is the case, we can choose the "Windows Installer" option to let the installer continue. If the installer stops responding again, you will need to restart your computer, and sometimes you may need to try multiple times to complete the installation. Such failures are generally caused by sudden factors, and restarts can solve the problem. However, memory and CPU may also be the source of the problem, which requires us to make more complicated troubleshooting, in general, replacing the hardware will solve the problem.

Summary: The above issues related to the installation of Windows7, I have personally experienced, there are other people encounter. Combine and summarize them with your own experience and understanding, and hope to help those who are installing or will install Windows7.
