Reinstall Windows XP experience skills big inventory

        Reinstalling the computer's operating system is a painful process that every computer lover 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

Even if I don't say it, most people are unmatched by other systems because of the operating system's features, visual effects, and compatibility with various applications. 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 is not good for hardware upgrades except for the motherboard. Others like CPU, memory, sound card, graphics card, modem, etc. can be upgraded. The motherboard can download the same model and the same version number of the motherboard manufacturer. The latest driver for the motherboard BIOS; for the BiOS upgrade of the motherboard, I have upgraded my laptop and desktop, there is no good quality floppy drive and floppy disk, do not blindly act. The direct effect of the motherboard upgrade is not obvious, and it has little effect on the speed. If your computer motherboard has USB1.1 function and can be used, don't chase it. The motherboard has a new problem, only to go to a special computer repair station to reorganize)

Of course, as I said, in addition to the motherboard hardware is not upgraded, other plug-and-play hardware upgrades, but also a lot of money of. 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 system's CD, you can buy it in the pirated CD 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 In safe mode, you can enter. This is a means of Microsoft anti-piracy.) Currently, there are three best ways to activate XP, (1) the activation of the number. There are XP counting devices written by foreign hackers on the Internet. You can download them directly, and there are detailed usage methods. The system activated in this way is absolutely genuine, but www.google.com
site search for Windows XP counting device) (2) using Russian hackers to activate by phone (do not call). The activation method is simple and easy, supports system upgrade, and has not found any problems at present [U>www.arongsoft.com
) (3) OEM activation. This method is more troublesome, you need to modify the BiOS driver, it is recommended that people do not take this method. (www.arongsoft.com
Forum)

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. Therefore, in the case of XP, who installed 2000, who is a fool. ^_^

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) Backing up on the local disk

If your file system is in FAT format and you have at least divided the hard disk into more than two zones, you can put you The letters, email accounts, communication books, and data materials all exist on the non-system disk (you don't have to have a partition? 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 your mail terminal, you can export the letters, address book and account.

Exporting 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 content mentioned 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 with it.

(3) Input method lexical memory backup

If you have been operating this computer for a while You must use text input. In this way, 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 put important data on the system disk (usually C: disk). My letter, (I use the mail client is BECKY2.05.10), data Commonly used software is stored on D:, E: and active hard disk.

3.CMOS settings

Normal computer should set the first boot boot sequence to partition when it is used normally. The activation disk, other than the optical drive, floppy drive, do not engage in boot detection. This will not only help the boot speed, but also extend the life of the optical drive, floppy drive; at the same time there is no "beep" noise when starting the test. However, we When you install the system, you can't boot from the hard disk's activation disk. What should I do? If your hard disk's operating system is a FAT system, you'd better format the disk of the system, such as the C: disk, clear for a long time. The next garbage. This is the first place to set the CMOS boot boot sequence is A: disk (that is, floppy drive).

Formatted specific operations:

Shutdown, floppy drive put 98 boot floppy disk, boot, enter DOS state, select 2 (with CD-ROM boot), input after c:\\: (not including the colon in front) format c:; then answer the system question input Y, enter, all the way back Yes.

If your hard disk's file system is NTFS or you don't want to format the hard drive, or have already formatted it, you must set your COMS to be the first boot of the CD drive.

CMOS settings: (For the Award board, for example, the other boards are basically the same)

Start the computer and press the DEL button (some computers are F2), enter the CMOS settings, enter the BiOS FEATURES SETUP, and then enter the Boot Sequence and press the up and down buttons. CD-ROM, C, A, press ESC, F10, Y, Enter, manually shut down or put the installation disc and press the reset button. (The installation CD is best to have self-starting function)

4. Install the system (below to install Windows XP as an example)

I chose the complete Windows XP without any cracking. 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.

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. Increase the installation speed. (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 Reinstall XP if the system is unchanged and there is an operating system on the system hard disk. During the installation process, the "Upgrade /New Installation" dialog box will appear. At this point you must choose to upgrade unless you want to install dual on your machine. operating system.

Enter the following requirements when entering the number SEQ ID NO:

BX6HT-MDJKW-H2J4X-BX67W-TVVFG

the basic registration code can be installed (I tried least 5, 6 kinds of XP installation CDs)

The general installation time is no more than 60 minutes.

After the installation is complete, select Activate now after it is not activated. Press Next to fill in at least one name, such as JixXP, all the way to enter the button.

Now I activate the system: I am using a Russian hacker activation method. See the instructions below:

Method: Copy SETUPREG.HIV to %systemroot%system32\\ directory

Overwrite the original file (I can't find this SETUPREG.HIV, paste it directly ),

Restart, press F8 to enter safe mode,
