1. Select the operating system.
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 (hereinafter referred to as XP) and install its patches. 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, apart from the motherboard, it is not easy to upgrade the hardware of the old machine. Others like CPU, memory stick, sound card, video card, modem and so on. Can be upgraded. Motherboard can download the latest BIOS driver of the motherboard manufacturer with the same model and version number; 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. There is something wrong with the motherboard, so I have to go to a special computer repair station to rearrange it)
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 it is more troublesome (search Windows XP counter on www.google.com website) ⑵ Use Russian hacker phone to activate (there is no real phone). This activation method is simple and easy, and supports system upgrade. No problems have been found so far. ⑶OEM activation. This method is troublesome and needs to modify the BIOS driver. Ordinary people are advised not to adopt this method. 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 some people who want 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. 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, 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 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 the 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 CD-ROM drive), and enter: (excluding the preceding colon) format 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.
If a serial number is required, please enter the following numbers:
BX6HT-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. Please refer to the following instructions:
Method: copy SETUPREG. To the %systemroot%system32\ directory.
Overwrite the original file (I can't find this SETUPREG. HIV, but I posted it directly).
Restart,
Press F8 to enter safe mode, log in as an administrator,
Run CRK WINXP. EXE, restart, enter WinXP, select "Telephone Activation" when required to activate, and fill in "4011"in each box-activation succeeded!
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), 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 the control panel, click Create New Connection, click Connect Internet, click Manual Settings, click Broadband Internet Access with Password, and add a name, such as adsl, user name 150***, password * * *, and password verification * * *. You can surf the Internet. Radio, TV, broadband, direct internet access is enough.
[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.
Just follow the export menu steps and change the original "export" to "import". 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. It is recommended that you install the following utility software on your computer:
(1) WinZip 8. 1 (general compression software)
Winrar 3.2 (the best compression software)
(3) Microsoft Office XP (International Office System)
⑷ AcadSee5.0 (graphic recognition software)
Jinshan 2003 (Instant English-Chinese Translation Software)
Kingsoft Internet Security 2003 (the best antivirus software in China)
(7) Once Winamp 2.8 (the best Mp3 music playing software)
Being ⑻windvd 4.0(DVD, VCD audio and video playback software)
Levies flashget1.40 (the best online download tool)
The above softwares are all my favorites. Generally, it can 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.
Open my computer, right-click C:, click Properties, click Tools, click Start Finishing, and finally click Defragmentation, and then click OK.
At this point, the installation is complete.
