Even if I don't say this, most people know it, hehe. Microsoft's Windows, of course. Because the function, visual effect and compatibility of various applications of this operating system are incomparable to other systems. If you have money (or more than you can spend), you'd better buy genuine Windows XP and install its sp2 patch. This is the most stable and compatible operating system at present. The minimum requirement for XP is CPU 1000mhz and 256M of memory. Ignore Microsoft minimum configuration (Microsoft minimum configuration is too low). If your computer configuration is lower than this standard, it is best not to install XP system. Otherwise, you will get on the ox cart and shake it slowly!
No matter what kind of system CD, you can buy it in the pirated CD market. (4-5 yuan/Zhang) In the CD market, 98 and Me are absolutely genuine, so there is nothing to talk about. Microsoft has added activation function to XP (activation means that you must contact Microsoft to activate your system within 30 days after installing XP, otherwise you will not be able to enter the system within 30 days. You can only enter in safe mode. This is a means for Microsoft to crack down on piracy. ), currently recommended: Windows XP Professional SP2 (VLK of Shanghai Municipal Government) CD-key: DG8Fv-B9TKY-FRT9J-6CRCC-XPQ4g is activation-free, and can be updated and downloaded online as before /down/soft/202 10.htm!
2. Backup work before installing the system
There will inevitably be a lot of information and letters on your computer. You can't throw these things away just because you installed the system, can you? What can we do? We can back them up 100% to other disks. If your computer has climbed down and can't even be turned on, then you can turn it off manually; Restart, press F8 to enter safe mode, and then do the following.
(1) is backed up on a local disk.
If your computer's file system is in the form of FAT, and your hard disk has been divided into at least two areas before, then you can store all your letters, email accounts, address books and data on the non-system disk (can't there be no partition? If you only use one field, then you are either a super slacker or a super rookie.
If you use Outlook Express as a mail terminal, you can export all letters, address books and accounts.
Mail export: Open OE, click Tools, click Options, click Maintenance, click Storage Folder, and click Change to change to a non-system disk, such as D: \ \ \ My mail. Confirm.
Account Export: Open OE, click Tools, click Accounts, click Mailboxes, select mailboxes one by one, click Export on the right, and set up non-system disk folders, such as: D: \ \ \ My account; Save.
Address Book Export: Open OE, click File, click Export, click Address Book, select a storage location, such as D: \ \ \ My Account, and save.
My Document Export: Right-click my document on the desktop, click Properties, click Move, set a non-system disk such as D: \ \ \ My Document, and confirm.
(2) If there is a mobile hard disk, it is best to save the above contents on the mobile hard disk. Just change the drive letter of the storage location to the drive letter of the active hard disk. (Now a mobile hard disk is about 1000 yuan (40G capacity, USB2). O compatible with USB 1. 1). If your current system is 98, you have to install a USB flash drive, otherwise you won't be able to identify the mobile hard disk. If it's me or 2000 or XP, you don't need to install a USB driver. By the way, mobile hard disk, with this thing, even the notebook can't be taken away. It is very convenient to store the maps and data we want to use and carry them with us! Now, I'm afraid there are not many units without computers. Wherever we go, we can take it with us.
(3) Memory backup of input method thesaurus
If you operate this computer for a long time, you must have used text input. In this way, your language habits and vocabulary habits are adapted and memorized by the computer. We can back up the font file, and the location of the file is:
c:\ \ \ \ windows \ \ \ \ system32 \ \ \ \ IME
In short, when using a computer, try not to put important data on the system disk (usually C: disk). My e-mail, (my e-mail client is BECKY2.05. 10), data and commonly used software are stored on D:, E: and active hard disk respectively.
3.CMOS settings
In normal use, when a computer is partitioned, the first startup sequence should be set to active disk, and other devices such as CD-ROM drive and floppy drive should not be tested. This is not only beneficial to the startup speed, but also can prolong the service life of CD-ROM and floppy drive. At the same time, there is no "crunching" noise when starting the test. But when we install the system, we can't boot from the activation disk of the hard disk. What shall we do? If the operating system of your hard disk is fat, you'd better format the disk where the system is installed, such as C: disk, to remove the long-term garbage. The first bit of the CMOS boot sequence needs to be set to: disk (floppy drive).
Specific operations of formatting:
Shut down, put the floppy disk into the 98 startup floppy disk, start it, enter the DOS state, select 2 (startup with optical drive), and enter: (excluding the colon in front) after the format C: c:c:\ \ \; Then answer the system question, enter y, press enter, and press enter all the time.
If the file system of the hard disk is NTFS, or you don't want to format the hard disk, or the hard disk has been formatted, you must set COMS to the CD-ROM drive as the first boot.
CMOS Settings: (Take the prize-winning motherboard as an example, other motherboards are basically the same)
Press DEL key (some computers press F2 key) to start the computer, enter CMOS settings, enter BIOS function settings, and then enter the boot sequence. Press the up and down keys to select CD-ROM, C and A, then press ESC, F 10, Y and enter, put in the installation CD and manually turn it off or press reset. (It is best to install a CD with self-starting function. )
4. Install the system (take WINDOWS XP as an example below)
I chose a complete Windows XP installation CD without any cracking. Start the computer, press enter when the words "press any key to start the CD" appear, start copying the installation program, and check the capacity and format of the system disk location, which can be ignored; When choosing the file format of the system hard disk, it is best to choose FAT32 instead of NTFS. Although the ntFS file system greatly improves the stability and speed of the operating system and the hard disk management function, NTFS only supports Windows NT, Windows2000 and WindowsXP with NT as the kernel, but does not support DOS, WindowsME and Windows98. So it is not suitable for those of us who often play software. Once the system crashes, you can reinstall the system by repartitioning and formatting under NTFS. As long as the system is repartitioned, the data and information on the hard disk will be completely finished. This is the lesson I learned from countless losses. When I used Windows2000, I used NTFS system, which was mainly used to prevent CIH virus from damaging the system and hardware, but now it is too easy to prevent and kill CIH. On the contrary, under the FAT32 file system, as long as there is a 98 or Me boot disk formatted with disk C, I can reinstall the system, and I am not afraid that all the data on the hard disk will be lost. (I don't talk about zoning here, I will talk about zoning later, including the actual training of FDISK and DM. Zoning is a dangerous and troublesome thing. )
Next, copy the system files and prepare for installation. The dialog box for selecting time zone and language appears, and I don't need to say it. Wait patiently.
If XP was originally installed under DOS, you must first copy the smartdrv.exe file (named smartdrv.exe in the installation directory of Win98) to the 98 startup floppy disk and run it before installation, which greatly improves the installation speed. I sometimes run it before installation and sometimes forget it, but I don't feel much difference. Maybe my two computers are relatively new. I can't tell)
If XP is reinstalled with the original system unchanged and the operating system on the system hard disk, the "Upgrade/New Installation" dialog box will appear during the installation process, and upgrade must be selected at this time, unless dual operating systems are to be installed on the computer.
Generally, the installation time does not exceed 60 minutes.
After the installation is completed, press Next, fill in at least one name, such as JixXP, and keep pressing Enter, and that's it.
4. Necessary setup and installation of some drivers.
(1) Enter the control panel (or right-click my computer and click Properties), open the system, select System Restore, and turn off the restore function of all disks.
(2) In the system, click Advanced to reset the error report (if this option is not turned off, there will always be an application form to complain to Bill Gates, which is annoying).
⑶ There are sound cards, video cards and cat drivers for general notebook computers, which can be installed automatically. Let me focus on the desktop.
Click Control Panel, click System, click Hardware, click Device Manager, uninstall all items with question marks and exclamation marks, and click OK to close the system items.
Take out the drive disk you carry with you and put it in the CD-ROM drive. Click "Add Hardware" in the control panel again, and when the selection dialog box appears, if you know the directory and location of your driver, you can select it manually; If you don't know, please select automatic.
Sound card, video card and cat driver are all the same. If you don't have a dedicated driver for XP, there are two ways to solve your problem. First of all, you can use the Win2k (Windows2000) driver of the plug-and-play device for installation. XP and 2K have the same kernel and no difference in drivers. During the installation process, a dialog box without Microsoft signature may appear. Ignore it and just click "Yes". If you don't even have a Win2k driver, there is only another way. First, find out the manufacturer and model of your equipment, print the manufacturer and model on the general manual or on the board and card, then go to the manufacturer's website from the computer with internet access, select the model and download it directly. Then use floppy disk or USB flash drive or mobile hard disk to transfer to the computer for installation. The floppy disk has a small capacity, so I'm afraid it won't fit. )
(4) Graphics card settings
Click Display in the control panel, and other options can be selected according to your computer. The best pixel is 800× 600,32 true color. Click Advanced, and then click Monitoring. The screen refresh frequency of cathode ray tube display is 75HZ or 85HZ, and that of liquid crystal display is 60HZ.
5] Set the network connection.
I won't talk about broadband settings, just dial-up Internet settings.
Click Network Connection in Control Panel, click Create New Connection, click Connect to Internet, click Manual Settings, click Modem, and then add a name, such as xxx, phone number 16900, password 16900 and verification password 16900. You can surf the Internet.
[6] Sound Settings
Click the sound and audio devices in the control panel, select the volume icon in the taskbar, and then click Apply; As for other options, you can set them according to the actual situation of the computer and your own hobbies.
5. Restore the mailbox, account number and address book.
When exporting, just change the original "Export" to "Import" according to the menu steps. I won't repeat it, hehe, if you can't reverse the operation, then you are really stupid, so don't read this article.
Step 6 restore fonts
Open the backup font information. If there is a recovery program, click it directly. If not, replace it directly. I mainly aim at intelligent ABC and ziguang pinyin input method. I haven't used other input methods, so I'm not familiar with them. You'd better study them yourself.
7. My document has been reset.
Repeat the above steps when exporting, just merge and link the two folders.
8. Finally, defragment the disk.
Open my computer, right-click C:, click Properties, click Tools, click Start Finishing, and finally click Defragmentation, and then click OK.
