The process of formatting and partitioning is realized when installing the system. Starting the bios CD-ROM drive and reinstalling the computer operating system is a painful process that every computer enthusiast must go through. Computer operators who don't install computer systems and applications themselves are at most novices. Of course, even if you can install these things skillfully, you are not necessarily a novice. For example, I am a fat rookie. ) So, what problems should we pay attention to when installing the operating system and application programs of the computer? 1. Select the operating system. Even if I don't say it, most people can't compare with other systems in terms of its functions, visual effects and compatibility with various applications. If you have money (or money to burn), you'd better buy genuine Windows XP (hereinafter referred to as XP) and install its sp 1 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! However, in addition to the motherboard, other old machines such as CPU, memory stick, sound card, graphics card and modem can be upgraded, and the motherboard can download the latest motherboard BIOS driver with the same model and version number from the motherboard manufacturer. For the BIOS upgrade of the motherboard, I upgraded my notebook and desktop. There are no very good quality floppy drives and floppy disks. Don't act blindly. The direct effect of motherboard upgrade is not obvious, and it has little effect on speed. If your computer motherboard has USB 1. 1 function and can be used, don't pursue the new one. Of course, as I said, it costs a lot of money to upgrade all plug-and-play hardware except the motherboard hardware. I estimate 2000-2500 RMB, so your computer configuration is very high: CPU 1.5G or more, memory 256M or more, 56K cats, and graphics card cache 32M. However, we don't need to upgrade our hardware, so we must use Windows 98 or Windows Me. There is no substantial difference between the two systems. The interface of Me is beautiful, but the system restore function of Me is really flattering. The same problem as the two is instability and collapse; Hot-start and reset are essential retention procedures for every computer. The system often loses files. With the repeated loading and unloading of application software, the system becomes slower and more unstable until the system is reloaded. 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. ), there are three best ways to activate XP at present. (1) number activated. There is an XP counter written by a foreign hacker on the Internet. Can be downloaded directly, which has detailed usage methods. The system activated in this way is absolutely genuine, but www.google.com's website searches for Windows XP counter) (2) Russian hackers are used to activating by phone (in fact, there is no need to call). This activation method is simple and easy, and supports system upgrade. No problems have been found at present. Www.arongsoft.com)(3)OEM activation. This method is troublesome and needs to modify the BIOS driver. Ordinary people are advised not to take this approach. (Forum in www.arongsoft.com) The best, simplest and upgrade-supporting activation method is the Russian hacker mobile phone activation method. I upgraded my system to XP sp 1 by this activation method. It is said that Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 2003, will be released on May 22nd, 2003. Let's wait and see and enjoy the ultimate happiness brought by Microsoft's latest operating system as soon as possible. _ As for someone who wants to ask, why not mention Windows 2000? Although 2000 is more stable (stronger than 98 and me, second to XP), its compatibility is so poor that many applications can't run on 2000. So in the case of XP, whoever installs 2000 is a fool. _ 2. Make a backup before installing the system. There will inevitably be a lot of data 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) Back up on a local disk If your computer's file system is in the form of FAT, and you have divided your hard disk into at least two areas before, then you can store all your letters, email accounts, address books and data on a non-system disk (can't there be no partitions? If you only use one area, you are either super lazy or super rookie. _) If you use Outlook Express as your email terminal, you can export all letters, address books and accounts. Mail export: Open OE, click Tools, click Options, then click Maintenance, click Storage Folder, and click Change to change it 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, then click Export, click Address Book, select 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) Input method thesaurus memory backup If you have been operating this computer for some time, you must use text input. In this way, your language habits and vocabulary habits are adapted and memorized by the computer. We can back up font files. The location of the file is c:windows system 32 time. In a word, when using a computer, we should 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 are in normal use. When the 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 (starting from the CD-ROM drive), press enter: (excluding the colon before) format c: After c: Then answer the system question, type 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 already been formatted, you must set COMS to the CD-ROM drive as the first boot. CMOS setting: (Take the prize-winning motherboard as an example, other motherboards are basically the same) Start the computer and press DEL (some computers press F2), enter CMOS setting, enter BIOS function setting, then enter the boot sequence, press the up and down keys to select CD-ROM, C, A, and then press ESC, F 10, Y, and enter, then manually shut down or press reset after putting in the installation CD. (It is best to install a CD with self-starting function. 4. Install the system (take WINDOWS XP as an example below) I chose the 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. 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. 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. When serial number is required, enter the following number: bx6t-mdjkw-h2j4x-bx67w-tvvfg. This registration code can basically be installed (I have tried at least 5 or 6 XP installation disks). Generally, the installation time does not exceed 60 minutes. After installation, choose not to activate it now and then activate it later. Press Next, fill in at least one name, such as JixXP, and press Enter all the time, that's all. Now start to activate the system: I used the activation method of Russian hackers. See the following instructions: Method: Copy the SETUPREG. HIV to the %systemroot%system32 directory to overwrite the original file (I can't find this SETUPREG. HIV and paste it directly), restart, press F8 to enter safe mode, log in as an administrator, and run WINXP_CRK. EXE, restart and enter WinXP. Select "Telephone Activation" when requesting activation, and fill in "40111"in each box-activation succeeded! Arun Software Park, arongsoft.com; ; Provide download. Needless to say. I can only tell you one word: great! ! ! 4. Necessary setup and installation of some drivers (1) Enter the control panel (or right-click my computer and click Properties), turn on 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 very annoying) (3) Generally, there are sound cards, video cards and cat drivers for 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. The display in the control panel is set for the graphics card, 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] I won't say anything about setting up broadband network connection, only about setting up dial-up internet access. 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 * * *, phone number 16900, password 16900 and verification password 65438. You can surf the Internet. [6] Sound and audio equipment in the control panel of sound setting point, choose to put the volume icon in the taskbar, and 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. Just follow the menu steps when exporting, and change the original "export" to "import". Don't repeat it, hehe, if you can't reverse the operation, then you are really stupid, so don't read this article. 6. Restore fonts. Open 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 is reset to repeat the export steps, just merge and link two folders. 8. It is recommended that you install the following practical software on your computer: (1) WinZip 8.1(general compression software) (1) Winrar 3.2 (best compression software) (1) Microsoft Office XP (international general office system) (1) Acadsee 5.0 (graphic recognition software) (5) Kingsoft 2003 (instant English-Chinese translation software) (6) Kingsoft Internet Security 2003 (the best in China) (7) ⑺Winamp2.8 (the best Mp3 music playing software) ?windvd 4.0(DVD, VCD audio and video playing software) can generally be downloaded from the Internet. Office XP, Kingsoft, Kingsoft Internet Security and other software. It's too big, so you'd better buy a CD to install it. In addition, it is best to install a system optimization software. In the domestic system optimization software, Windows optimization master (Author: Jin Lu) and Super Rabbit Magic Settings (Author: Cai Xuan) are the first. WindowsXP itself is highly optimized, so it is of no practical significance to optimize the system. But WindowsXP doesn't set the secondary cache of CPU, so you can use either of these two softwares for optimization. For example, the CPU secondary cache of my notebook is 256K K K. I didn't reset it in the registry, but set it with rabbit magic. Recently, I found on the Internet that Jin Lu, the author of the Windows optimizer, said that the cracked version of the optimizer would break out in about 60 days and destroy the system. Therefore, I never dare to use the master of optimization again. I advise my friends not to use the cracked version, or the system will be broken. If you use it, 30 RMB will be fine, not expensive. 9. Finally, defragment the disk and turn on my computer. Right-click C:, click Properties, click Tools, click Start Defragmentation, and then click OK after defragmentation.
