Windows XP installation and startup Q & A

Now, Windows XP users are getting more and more, and the problem is coming. So let's focus on the problems you might encounter in terms of installation, startup, and so on.
Q: I am using Windows Me, can I upgrade directly to Windows XP?
A: Windows XP has done a very good job in upgrading and installing. There are three ways to install it: upgrade installation, dual system coexistence installation and new installation. We can successfully upgrade to Windows XP based on the previous Windows 98/Me/NT4/2000 operating systems. Note that Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, and earlier Windows systems cannot be upgraded to Windows XP.
Q: Why does the system prompt me to convert the partition to NTFS during the installation?
A: This is because you did not install it carefully when you installed it under Windows. At the beginning of the installation, there is a "Advanced —— Allow me to select the partition to be installed during the installation process" option. Remember to select this, you can install to the specified partition, and choose whether to retain the original partition format, and format it as NTFS or FAT32 format and so on.
Q: Why is my Windows XP installed in English after the Simplified Chinese language pack?
A: In the "Control Panel & Rarr; Date, Time, Language and Regional Settings & Rarr; Regional and Language Options & Rarr; Regional Options", select "Chinese (China)", re-login. If you don't select all users to use this configuration in the "Advanced" option, you will find that other users' interfaces are still in English
Q: Why does my Windows XP shutdown always become a reboot?
A: This problem is due to the fact that some motherboards' advanced power management cannot be supported by Windows XP. Generally, the computer with the motherboard of the Award BIOS does not have this problem. So far, only the motherboard of the AMI BIOS has this problem. The solution is to upgrade your motherboard BIOS (ie flash BIOS), this is a "dangerous" operation, it is best to ask experienced people to help you.
Q: I installed Windows XP, but I didn't find the program to make the boot disk in the "Add/Remove Programs" program.
A: Windows XP does not come with a program to directly create a boot disk, you need to use other methods to achieve.
Q: My computer is dual system, Windows 98 is in C drive, Windows XP is on D drive. If you want to format the C drive to reinstall Windows 98, if you do not reinstall Windows XP, is there any way to restore dual boot?
A: Just re-install Windows 98 after formatting the C drive. After the installation is complete, you will find that you lose the dual boot menu. Losing the dual boot means that XP cannot be started. It doesn't matter, re-run the XP installer and select “fix”install. Rest assured, "fix" installation does not mean reinstalling.
