Backup work before installing the system

It is inevitable that there will be a lot of data and letters on your computer. We can't throw away these things just because we install the system, right? what to do? We can back them up on other disks 100% of the time. If your computer has climbed down and cannot be turned on, then you can shut it down manually; turn it on again, press and hold F8 to enter safe mode and perform the following operations.

⑴Backup on the local disk

If your computer’s file system is in FAT format and you have divided the hard disk into at least two or more areas before, you can Store all your letters, email accounts, address books, and data materials on a non-system disk (you don’t have partitions, right? If you only use one partition, then you are either a super lazy person or a super novice^_^)

If you are using the Outlook Express that comes with the system as your mail terminal, you can export all letters, address books, and accounts.

Letter export: Open OE, click Tools, click Options, then click Maintenance, click Storage Folder, click Change, and set it to a non-system disk, such as D: My Letters. confirm.

Account export: Open OE, click Tools, then click Account, click Mail, select the mails one by one, click Export on the right, and set a non-system disk folder, such as: D: My Account; save.

Export address book: Open OE, click File, then click Export, click Address Book, select the storage location, such as D: My Account, and save.

Export My Documents: Right-click My Documents on the desktop, then click Properties, click Move, set a non-system drive such as D: My Documents, and OK.

⑵ If you have an active hard drive, you'd better save the above content to the active hard drive. Just change the drive letter of the storage location to the drive letter of the active hard disk. (Nowadays, an active hard disk costs about 1,000 yuan (40G capacity, USB2.O is compatible with USB1.1). If your current system is 98, you must install the USB driver, otherwise the active hard disk cannot be recognized; if it is Me or 2000, XP, there is no need to install a USB driver. By the way, with this thing, we don’t even need to carry a laptop. We usually store the pictures and data we need with us, which is so convenient now! I'm afraid there aren't many computers left, so we can just bring it with us wherever we go to work.

⑶ Input method dictionary memory backup

If you have been operating this computer for a while. It's time, you must use text input. In this way, your language habits and word usage habits have been adapted and remembered by the computer. We can back up the font file. The location of the file is:

c:windowssystem32IME.

In short, when we use the computer, try not to put important data on the system disk (usually the C: drive). My letters, (the email client I use is BECKY2.05.10), and information. and commonly used software are stored on D:, E: and the active hard disk respectively.

2. CMOS settings

Generally, the first boot sequence should be set for normal use of computers. It is the activation disk when partitioning, and other items such as optical drives and floppy drives do not need to perform startup detection. This will not only benefit the startup speed, but also extend the service life of the optical drive and floppy drive; at the same time, there will be no "crunching" noise during startup detection. However, when we install the system, we cannot boot from the activation disk of the hard disk. What should we do? If the operating system of your hard disk is a FAT system, you'd better format the disk where the system is installed, such as the C: drive, and clear it. The garbage left for a long time. This requires setting the first place in the CMOS boot sequence to be the A: drive (that is, the floppy drive).

Specific operations for formatting:

Shut down, put the 98 boot floppy disk in the floppy drive, start it, enter the DOS state, select 2 (boot with CD-ROM drive), enter after c: (excluding the colon in front) formatc:; then answer the system question and enter Y, press Enter, all the way Just press Enter.

If the file system of your hard disk is NTFS or you do not want to format the hard disk, or have already formatted it, you must set your COMS to the optical drive as the first boot. .

CMOS settings: (Take Award motherboard as an example, other motherboards are basically the same)

Start the computer and press the DEL key (some computers use the F2 key) to enter the CMOS settings. BIOSFEATURESSETUP, then enter BootSequence and press the up and down keys to select CD-ROM, C, A, then press the ESC key, F10 key, Y, and press Enter. Manually shut down or insert the installation CD and press the reset key (it is best to install the installation CD. With self-starting function)

3. Install the system (the following takes the installation of WINDOWSXP as an example)

I chose a complete WindowsXP installation CD without any cracks.

Start the computer, press Enter when the words "press any key to start the CD" appear, start copying the installation program, check the capacity and format of the system disk location, you can ignore these; it is best to choose the file format of the system hard disk when it appears. FAT32, don't choose NTFS. Although the NTFS file system has greatly improved the stability and speed of the operating system and the hard disk management function, NTFS only supports Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP with NT as the core, and does not support DOS, Windows ME, and Windows 98. Therefore, it is not suitable for those of us who often play software. Once the system crashes, it is possible to reinstall the system through repartitioning, formatting, etc. under NTFS. As long as the system is repartitioned, the information and data on the hard disk will be completely destroyed. (This is a lesson I learned from countless losses. When I was using Windows 2000, I adopted the NTFS system, mainly to prevent the CIH virus from causing super damage to 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 you have a 98 or Me boot disk and format the C drive, you can reinstall the system without fear of losing all the data and information on the hard disk. (I won’t talk about partitioning here. I will talk about partitioning in the future, including practical exercises on FDISK and DM. Partitioning is a more dangerous and troublesome thing)

Next, copy the system files, Prepare for installation and other steps. A dialog box for selecting time zone, language, etc. appears, which I don’t need to explain. Be patient.

If you are installing XP originally under DOS, you must first copy the smartdrv.exe file (named smartdrv.exe in the Win98 installation directory) into the 98 boot floppy disk and run it before installation. Dramatically improve 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 you are in the original Reinstall XP with the system unchanged and the operating system on the system hard disk. During the installation process, the "Upgrade/New Installation" dialog box will appear. At this time, you must choose to upgrade, unless you want to install it on your machine. Dual operating system.

When asked to enter the serial number, enter the following number:

BX6HT-MDJKW-H2J4X-BX67W-TVVFG

This registration code can basically be installed (I at least tried 5 or 6 kinds of XP installation CDs are available)

Generally, the installation time does not exceed 60 minutes.

After the installation is complete, choose not to activate now or activate later, click Next, fill in at least one name, such as JixXP, and press Enter all the way. That's it.

Now let’s activate the system: I used the activation method of Russian hackers. See the instructions below:

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

Overwrite the original file (I couldn’t find this SETUPREG.HIV, so I pasted it directly ),

Restart,

Press F8 to enter safe mode, log in as administrator,

Run WINXP_CRK.EXE, restart, enter WinXP, and when required When activating, select "Telephone Activation" and fill in "401111" in each box - activation successful!

No need to say more. I only tell you one word: great! ! !

4. Necessary settings and installation of some drivers

⑴Enter "Control Panel" (or right-click My Computer and then click Properties), open "System", Select "System Restore" and choose to turn off the restore function for all disks. < /p>

⑶ Generally, laptop sound cards, graphics cards, and modem drivers are all included in XP, and they can basically be installed automatically. Let me focus on desktop computers.

Click "Control Panel", click "System", then click "Hardware", click "Device Manager", uninstall all items with question marks and exclamation marks in them, click OK to close "System" project.

Take out the driver disk that came with you and put it into the CD-ROM drive; then click "Add Hardware" in the control panel. When the selection dialog box appears, if you know the directory and location of your driver, You can choose Manual; if you don't know, choose Automatic.

The same method is used to install drivers for sound cards, graphics cards, and modems. If you don't have XP-specific drivers, there are two ways to solve your problem. First, you can use the Win2k (that is, Windows 2000) driver of the plug-and-play device to install it. The kernels of XP and 2K are the same, and there is no difference in the driver.

During the installation process, a dialog box without a Microsoft signature may appear. Ignore it and click "Yes" directly. If you don't even have a Win2k driver, there is only one other way. First, find out the manufacturer of your device. Generally, the manufacturer and model are printed on the manual or on the board or card. Then go to the manufacturer's website from a computer with Internet access, select the model and download it directly. Then use a floppy disk, USB flash drive, or removable hard disk to transfer it to your computer and install it. (The capacity of the floppy disk is small, I’m afraid it won’t fit.)

⑷ Graphics card settings

Click Display in the control panel, other options can be selected according to your computer situation. It is best to choose 800×600 pixels and 32 true colors. Click "Advanced", click "Monitor", and select 75HZ or 85HZ for the screen refresh rate for cathode ray tube monitors and 60HZ for LCD monitors.

⑸Set up network connection

I won’t go into the broadband settings, only the settings for dial-up Internet access.

Click "Network Connection" in the control panel, click "Create a New Connection", click "Connect Intelnet", click "Manual Settings", click "Modem", and add a name such as: xxx, phone number Add 16900 to the number, 16900 to the password, and another 16900 to the verification password. You can go online.

⑹Sound settings

Click "Sounds and Audio Devices" in the control panel, select "Put the volume icon into the taskbar", and click Apply; as for other options, you can Make relevant settings according to the actual situation of your computer and your own preferences.

6. Restore the font library

Open the backup font information. If there is a recovery program, click it directly. If not, just replace it. This is mainly for the intelligent ABC and Ziguang Pinyin input methods. I have not used other input methods and am not familiar with them. It is best for you to research them yourself.

7. Reset My Documents

Repeat the export steps to merge and link the two folders.

8. It is recommended that you install the following practical software on your computer:

⑴Winzip8.1 (universal compression software)

⑵WinRAR3.2 (the best compression software)

⑶Microsoft Office

⑹ Kingsoft Antivirus 2003 (the best domestic anti-virus software)

⑺Winamp2.8 (the best Mp3 music player software)

⑻WinDVD4.0 (DVD, VCD audio and video player) Software)

⑼FlashGet1.40 (the best online download tool)

The above software is my favorite. Generally it can be downloaded from the Internet. Software like OfficeXP, Kingsoft PowerWord, Kingsoft Internet Security, etc. are too large, so it is best to buy a CD to install.

In addition, it is best to install a system optimization software. Among the domestic system optimization software, Windows Optimization Master (author: Lu Jin) and Super Rabbit Magic Settings (author: Cai Xuan) are recommended. WindowsXP itself is extremely optimized, and further system optimization has no practical significance. However, WindowsXP does not have settings for the CPU's secondary cache. You can use either of these two software to optimize it. For example, the CPU L2 cache of my laptop is 256K. I did not go into the registry to reset it, but used Rabbit Magic to set it.

Recently, I found on the Internet that Lu Jin, the author of Windows Optimization Master, said that the cracked version of Optimization Master will break out and destroy the system in about 60 days. Therefore, I never dare to use Optimization Master again. I advise my friends not to use the cracked version, as they may damage the system. If you use it, it costs 30 yuan RMB, which is not expensive.
