Reinstalling the computer's operating system is a difficult process that every computer enthusiast must experience. A computer operator who does not install computer systems and applications by himself is at most a rookie. (Of course, I can skillfully install these things, not necessarily rookies, for example, I am just a relatively obese rookie) So, what problems should I pay attention to when installing computer operating systems and applications? 1. Choosing an operating system
This even if I don't say, most people know, hehe. Of course it is Microsoft's Windows. Because the operating system's features, visual effects, and compatibility with various applications are unmatched by other systems. If you have money (or if you have too much money, you can't burn it), you'd better buy genuine Windows XP (hereafter referred to as XP), and then add its sp1 patch; this is the most stable and compatible. Operating system. The minimum required configuration for XP is CPU 1000mhz and memory 256M. Don't bother with what Microsoft says is the minimum required configuration (Microsoft requires a configuration that is too low). If your computer's configuration is lower than this standard, it is best not to install XP. Otherwise, you are sitting on the oxcart, and you will shake it slowly! (However, the old machine in addition to the motherboard is not good for hardware upgrades, other CPU, memory, sound card, graphics card, modem, etc. can be upgraded, the motherboard can download the motherboard manufacturer with the same model and the same version of the motherboard BIOS latest driver Program; for the BiOS upgrade of the motherboard, I have upgraded my laptop and desktop, there is no good quality floppy disk and floppy disk, do not blindly act. The direct effect of the motherboard upgrade is not obvious, almost no effect on the speed If your computer motherboard has USB1.1 function and can be used, don't chase it. The motherboard is chasing new problems, only to go to a special computer repair station to rectify. Of course, as I said, except the motherboard hardware is not upgraded. Other plug-and-play hardware upgrades, but also a lot of money. I estimate 2000-2500 yuan RMB, so your computer is very high configuration: CPU1.5G or more, memory 256M or more, 56K cat, graphics card cache 32M. However, it is OK not to upgrade the hardware, so we have to use Windows 98 or Windows Me. There is no substantial difference between the two systems. Me's interface looks good, but Me's system restore function can't be complimented. The common problem between the two is instability and crash; hot start and reset are indispensable reservation programs every time. The system often loses files, and as the application software is loaded and unloaded multiple times, the system becomes slower and more unstable until the system is reinstalled. Regardless of the CD of that system, it can be bought in the pirated disc market. (4-5 yuan /Zhang) In the CD market, 98 and Me are absolutely genuine, there is nothing to talk about. Microsoft added an activation function to XP (the so-called activation, that is, you must contact Microsoft to activate your system through network or phone within 30 days after installing XP, otherwise you can only enter the system in 30 days. Only It can be accessed in safe mode. This is a means of Microsoft anti-piracy.). The best and easiest way to activate the upgrade is to activate the Russian hacker phone. I used this activation method to upgrade my system to XP sp1 version. It is said that Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 2003, will be released on May 22, 2003. Let us wait and see, as soon as possible to enjoy the speed of happiness brought by Microsoft's latest operating system. As for someone to ask, why don't you mention Windows 2000? Although the stability of 2000 is better (stronger than 98 and Me, next to XP), but the compatibility is too small, many applications can not run on 2000. 2. Backup work before installing the system
There are inevitably many materials and letters on your computer. Can't we throw these things away because we installed the system? How to do? We can back them up on other disks 100%. If your computer has already climbed down, and the machine can't be turned on, then you can manually shut down; turn it on again, press and hold F8 to enter safe mode and then do the following. (1) Backup on the local disk If your file system is FAT, and you have at least divided the hard disk into more than two areas, you can put your mail, email account, communication book, and data materials. There is a non-system disk (you don't have no partitions? If you only use one area, then you are not a super lazy, a super rookie ^_^) If you are using the system's own Outlook Express to do yours Mail terminal, you can export the letter, address book and account. Export the letter: Open OE, click on the tool, click on the option, click on Maintenance, click on the storage folder, click on Change, and change to a non-system disk, such as D:\\My Letter. confirm. Account Export: Open OE, click Tools, then click Account, click Email, select one email, click Export on the right, set non-system disk folder, such as: D:\\My Account; Save. Communication Thin Export: Open OE, click on the file, then click Export, click on the address book, select the storage location, such as D:\\My Account, Save. My document export: Right click on the desktop my document, click on Properties, click on Move, set non-system disk such as D:\\My Documents, OK. (2) If you have an active hard drive, you'd better save the above to the active hard drive. Just change the drive letter of the storage location to the drive letter of the active hard drive. (Now, an active hard disk is about 1000 yuan (40G capacity, USB2.O compatible with USB1.1). If your current system is 98, you have to install the USB driver, otherwise you can't recognize the active hard disk; if it is Me or 2000, XP, you don't need to install USB driver. By the way, the active hard disk, with this stuff, even the notebook can not take it. Usually put the maps and data we want to use, carry it with you, convenient! Now, no I am afraid that there are not many computer units. No matter where we go, we can bring it. (3) Input method vocabulary memory backup If you have been operating this computer for a while, you must use text input. So, your Language habits and word habits have been adapted and memorized. We can back up the font files, the location of the file: c:\\Windows\\system32\\IME In short, when we use the computer, try not to be in the system disk (generally C: disk) put important data on. My letter, (I use the mail client is BECKY2.05.10), data and common software Stored on D:, E: and active hard disk respectively. 3.CMOS settings
Normal computer should set the first boot boot sequence to the active disk when partitioning in normal use. Others such as CD-ROM drive and floppy drive do not need to be installed. Initiate the detection. This will not only help the startup speed, but also prolong the service life of the optical drive and floppy drive. At the same time, there is no “beep” noise when starting the test. However, we can not activate the drive from the hard disk when we install the system. Start up. What should I do? If your hard drive's operating system is a FAT system, you'd better format the disk of the installed system, such as the C: drive, which clears the garbage left for a long time. This requires setting up the CMOS boot boot. The first bit of the order is A: disk (that is, floppy disk drive). Specific operation of formatting: Shutdown, floppy disk drive into 98 boot floppy disk, boot, enter DOS state, select 2 (with CD-ROM boot), after c:\\ Input: (not including the colon in front) format c:; Then answer the system to ask for input Y, press Enter, all the way back to it. If your hard drive The file system is NTFS or you don't want to format the hard disk, or it has been formatted. You must set your COMS to be the first boot of the CD-ROM. CMOS settings: (For the Award board, for example, the other boards are basically the same) Press the DEL button on the computer (some computers are F2), enter the CMOS settings, enter BiOS FEATURES SETUP, then enter the Boot Sequence, press the up and down keys to select CD-ROM, C, A, then press ESC, F10, Y, Enter You can manually shut down or put the installation CD and press the reset button. (The installation CD is best to have the self-start function) 4. Install the system (below to install Windows XP as an example)
I chose no crack , complete Windows XP installation CD. Start the computer, when the "CD boot press any key" words, press Enter, start copying the installation program, verify the capacity and format of the system disk location, these can be ignored; the choice of the file format of the system hard disk is best to choose FAT32, do not choose NTFS. Although the NTFS file system greatly improves the stability and speed of the operating system and the hard disk management functions, NTFS only supports Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP with NT as the kernel, and does not support DOS, WindowsME, and Windows 98. Therefore, it is not suitable for people who often play software. In the event of a system crash, it is possible to reinstall the system under NTFS by repartitioning, formatting, etc. As long as the partition is re-partitioned, the data and data on the hard disk are completely destroyed. (This is the lesson I have learned from countless losses. When I was using Windows 2000, I used the NTFS system to prevent the CIH virus from causing super damage to the system and hardware. But it is too easy to prevent and kill CIH.) Under the FAT32 file system, as long as there is a 98 or Me boot disk formatted on the C drive, you can reinstall the system, and you are not afraid to lose all the data and data on the hard disk. (About the partition, I will not talk about it here. I will have the opportunity to talk about the partition in the future, including the actual operation of FDISK and DM. Partitioning is a dangerous and troublesome thing.) Next, copy the system files and prepare for installation. The dialog box for selecting the time zone, language, etc. appears, so I don't need to say it. Wait patiently. If you originally installed XP under DOS, you must first copy the smartdrv.exe file (named smartdrv.exe in the Win98 installation directory) into the 98 boot floppy disk. You can greatly improve the installation speed by running it before installation. (I sometimes run it before installation, sometimes forget it, but I don't feel how big the difference is, maybe my two computers are relatively new? Can't tell) If you are in the original system, the system hard disk Reinstall XP with an operating system. During the installation process, the Upgrade/New Installation dialog box appears. You must choose to upgrade unless you want to install dual operating systems on your machine. The general installation time is no more than 60 minutes. After the installation is complete, select Activate now after not activating, press Next, at least fill in a name, such as JixXP, all the way to enter the key, you can. Now activate the system: see the instructions below: Method: Copy SETUPREG.HIV to the %systemroot%system32\\ directory to overwrite the original file (I can't find this SETUPREG.HIV, paste it directly), restart, press F8 to enter Safe mode, log in as administrator, run WINXP_CRK.EXE, reboot, enter WinXP, select "phone activation" when requesting activation, fill in "401111" in each box----activation is successful! Needless to say. I only tell you a word: great! ! ! 4. Necessary settings and partial driver installation
(1) Go to the Control Panel (or right-click on My Computer, click Properties), open System, select System Restore, and select Close All Disks. Restore function. (2) In "System", click "Advanced", reset the "Error Report" (do not close this option, always appear to Bill Gates sue application form, annoying people) (3) general laptop sound card, graphics card,
