Vista system installation needs to pay attention to several issues

Vista is now widely used. But what are the places we need to pay attention to when installing? Here are some notes to be aware of the Vista system before installation.

No.1 What to do with the downloaded Windows Vista installation files.

Currently downloaded files are generally divided into two cases:

a. Downloaded to the ISO file (generally Microsoft's official download file for this type), the use of Daemon Tool or Alcohol 120% virtual drive to load, and then install! Also, remember, WinRAR can not be used to decompress ISO files! Otherwise it may cause installation failure!!! Of course, you can also directly engrave the disk and then boot from the CD!

b. Download the RAR sub-volume compressed file (generally downloaded from WinBeta is this type of file), in this case, first use WinRAR decompression, you can get the ISO file!

No .2 Pre-installation notes:

1. Windows Vista requires installation on an NTFS partition, but other partitions can be in FAT32 format!

2. Simple NTFS conversion mode: Run cmd to enter the command In line mode, run convert x: /fs:ntfs (x is the need to convert the partition letter), during which you may need to restart your computer. Note: This command can convert the FAT partition to NTFS partition without loss. This process is irreversible! If there is no useful data in the partition, it can be achieved by formatting it as NTFS partition under XP!

3.If Windows Vista is installed in a partition where Windows is already installed. The original Windows will be saved in a Windows.old directory, and dual system booting cannot be performed normally!

No.3 About the Windows Vista installation process Partial error

1. "Setup was unable to locate a locally attached hard drive suitable for holding temporary Setup files." prompt! Solution: In the current Vista version, the target installation partition is generally required. There is more than 8G space! At the same time, you need to have 2G leftover space in other partitions as a temporary folder for the installation files! The reason for this error is that you cannot create a temporary file directory!

2. Appears during installation "Setup cannot run on this version of the Operating System. To install Windows please try booting from the install media." Tip! Solution: On Windows XP Run the installer under x64, or engrave the disk and start the installation from the CD!

3. "Windows Setup cannot determine if this computer supports installing this version of Windows." prompts! Solution: The problem It may be related to a service of Windows XP system, please restore Windows XP silent service (recovery methods are various, not provided here separately) and then restart once to install normally.
