Windows2000 installation

Before installing, of course, you need to understand the configuration requirements of Windows2000, the minimum hardware requirements:

It seems that the hardware requirements of Windows2000 are not very high, so most computers can Install this new operating system. However, this is only the minimum configuration required. If you really want to use Win2K with Pentium 133, 32M … … then it is not worth the candle. In addition, Win2K is very memory, I have not always believed in the role of large memory, but in Win2K, the difference between 64 and 128 is really not small. Therefore, to buy a computer, upgrade the netizens, do not hesitate to choose 2000.

The installation of Win2000 is actually very simple, and it is not much different from Win9X. However, the interface became a DOS interface (Microsoft's retreat).

Ok, the project to install Win2000 officially started. Put the CD into the CD-ROM drive, under Win9x, NT4.0, run: i386winnt32.exe, under Win3.X, NT3.51, run i386winnt.exe, click “ OK”Start the installation. The installer appears as a wizard. The first question is "Upgrade to Windows2000", or "Install new Win2000"; After accepting the installation agreement and entering the software serial number, the system will restart the computer.

At this point, the system will ask which partition to install Win2000 to. Win2000 can be installed to FAT or NTFS partitions. If FAT is selected, it can be installed in the same partition as Win9x. Choosing NTFS can improve the efficiency of Win2000, save hard drives, and have better security. However, DOS and Win9x will not be able to directly access the NTFS partition (so it is more secure). Access to NTFS can be achieved by adding software, but the free download version only provides read-only mode, and can not modify the files in the NTFS partition (also good, it can better protect Win2000, so that you can see it, can't change). If you want to install to NTFS, it is best to first divide an unpartitioned blank hard disk, the system automatically asks whether to format NTFS, select “ is & rdquo; After the regional settings and keyboard layout selection, the COPY system file is started. After that, the user needs to set the computer name, the system administrator (Administrtor) username and password … … wait about 1 to 1 and a half hours (a little longer than Win98) to complete the Win2000 installation. If it is installed on Win9x and chooses to install new Windows, Win2000 will automatically generate multiple system startup files.
