Windows7 system copy installation skills (a)

In general, we usually install Windows7 through the installation CD, but the installation speed of the installation CD is still slow, if you want to help others install the system or install multiple computers Even the computer without the optical drive is still more troublesome! In fact, the Windows 7 system installation can be simpler - directly "copy" on it!

System "copy" ImageX to help why the system does not need to be installed, only Need to "copy" can be used? In fact, there is a file named "install.wim" in the Sources directory of the Win7 installation CD. This file contains one or more operating systems that have already been installed. In other words, Microsoft has actually installed the operating system. We just use ImageX software to "copy" the installed system from the CD to the hard disk, and then configure the startup item for the "copy" operating system to complete the system. The installation is just as simple! Tip: Pure copying and pasting is of course not possible, which is why you should use ImageX. ImageX will automatically decompress the content we need in the "install.wim" file during the "copy" process. In addition, using ImageX requires manual formatting of the hard disk partition before operation. If the hard disk does not yet have a partition, start it with WinPE CD, use the application on the CD (such as DiskGenius) to partition the hard disk, set the C drive as the active primary partition and format all the partitions. If the hard disk is already partitioned, format the C drive. However, the original ImageX program should be run in a DOS environment, and some DOS commands should be entered, which is too "high" for ordinary users. It doesn't matter, we can use another software - "ImageX One-Click Recovery" (also known as "GGhost One-Click Recovery"), which already integrates with ImageX. Through it, the entire operation process can be completed in the graphical interface, the user only needs to click the mouse as needed. Copy operation Click the mouse to complete After the disk partition is completed, start "ImageX OneKey Recovery" on the hard disk in WinPE, and select the "Partition Recovery" button after running. The default partition is "local disk (C:)", generally do not need to change, select the image file, and locate the file in the Win7 installation disk (I use the Win7 5-in-1 installation disk, the CD-ROM drive letter is "O"). O:\\sources\\install.wim" (If there is an ISO image file of the installer in the system, it is recommended to use the virtual CD-ROM software to load, so the operation speed is faster), click the drop-down list on the right side of the image file, you can see that there are 5 Image file, that is, 5 Win7 versions, select item 5 - "No.5 Windows 7 ULTIMATE", which is Win7 Ultimate. Next, you only need to follow the prompts, step by step, and finally click the "Restore" button to extract the flagship version to the C drive. The entire copying process is very fast and takes a very short time, much faster than normal installation. Next, we will do a little bit of finishing work and it will be OK. After the repair guide completes the copy according to the prompt, a prompt window will appear, prompting: "If the boot sector has no boot information after recovery, the system may not be able to start. Is the following parameter used to repair the boot information of [C:]?" Be sure to click "Yes" to fix it. After the operation is completed, copy the file "bootmgr" and the directory "boot" in the root directory of the Win7 installation CD (or image file) to the root directory of the C drive in WinPE. Now, there is already a Win7 system in the C drive. If it starts, it will prompt an error. It doesn't matter. Start the computer with the Win7 installation CD. When you get the “Install Now” step, select “Repair the computer” below the interface, and then select “ Fix and restart", you can quickly fix it and restart it automatically. At this point, the CD is removed and the system can boot from the hard disk. After the computer restarts, just like running the system for the first time, update the registry settings, start the service, install the device... &nb

sp; use this method, from copying the system file to successfully entering the desktop, only use the total In less than 15 minutes, it saves half the time compared to the traditional method of using CD-ROM installation (it is faster if you use Win7 image file installation)! You only need to prepare a WinPE CD (or WinPE flash drive), a Win7 Install the CD (or Win7 system image file) and the "ImageX One Click Recovery" software. One-click recovery ImageX is more secure. In fact, many times, we help others to install computers mainly because they don't know how to install or repair them, but if they can make their computers have many "one-click restore" functions of brand machines, it is not convenient. What? This way, even if there is a problem, they can do it themselves! Compared with Ghost, "ImageX OneKey Recovery" has an incremental backup function, smaller backup files, shorter backup time, and easy to update. In addition, because all operations are performed in a visual environment, the operation is very difficult and can be done smoothly by ordinary users. The main problem with Ghost is that it may be restored to the state of the original backup when it is restored, and ordinary users may not understand the operation, which may cause important files during the recovery of the system. Or the information is lost, causing unnecessary losses. However, the use of ImageX's incremental backup feature will not have such problems, but also minimize the risk of ordinary users' own operations. Tip: In layman's terms, ImageX's incremental backup function is like this: For the first backup, ImageX will compress all the files of the target disk into the specified image file. When the second backup is performed, ImageX will compare the image. Files that have been backed up in the file. If the file has not been changed, there is no need to back up. Different files are additionally added with a backup. The original backup file is still retained. After the two backups, each has a complete list of file locations. When recovering, According to the records in the list, the restored content is different, so that the user is more convenient and safer to operate. This article is still taking the example of "ImageX OneKey Recovery". Start with WinPE CD, start "ImageX OneKey Recovery" on the hard disk, and click the "Partition Backup" button. The backup types are “new backup [fast, low compression]”, “new backup [slow speed, high compression]” and “incremental backup”. If it is the first backup, the default “new backup” is generally selected. , low compression]", the partition select "local disk (C)". After confirming, click “New Backup” to start the backup system, and the program will be automatically quit after completion. In the same way, the user can select "incremental backup" in the subsequent backup, and then complete the operation according to the prompt, and will not affect the backup that has been done before. It's as simple as a system with serious problems that need to be restored. Or use WinPE CD to boot, first manually format the system disk, then start "ImageX One-Click Recovery", click "Partition Recovery", select the partition to be restored and the image file for restore, confirm, and then in the mirror number list Select the image number to be restored, click the "Restore" button, follow the prompts, after the restore is complete, a prompt window will appear, click "Yes" to repair the boot information, and the restore is completed, the whole process is less than 10 minutes, restart, and It's a new system! Compared to the problem of installing the system, it may be more important to let the average user recover the system by himself. With the method of this article, ordinary users can complete the backup of the system, and will not affect the previous backup, so that even if a problem friend has trouble you, you can easily recover, not to start all over again. Most importantly, user data and file loss can be avoided to the greatest extent possible. In addition, everyone can make a "WinPE+Win7 installation file + ImageX one-click recovery" three-in-one flash drive for friends based on the method in the text, so it is more convenient to install and maintain!
