Windows 7 OS (no optical drive) Experience Sharing

A friend bought a Lenovo e330 sub-device (no optical drive). By default, a Linux ubontu system is installed and needs to be changed to win7. After more than half an afternoon, we finally got it done. It is necessary to make a summary.

Obviously, in the case of no optical drive, the CD is not easy to use, and Windows execution files are also difficult. You need to consider installing the system from the USB flash drive.

My preparations are as follows: Two USB flash drives (one for win7 boot disk and one for winpe boot disk), a win7iso image file, and a winpe system image (my old peach, next new one, use the disk management tool), ultraiso boot disk creation software, and windowsloader system cracking software.

Step 1:

The win7 boot disk and winpe boot disk are created using the ultralso software. (Can be Baidu detailed software production method, generally pay attention to the writing mode when making the disk, general use USB-HDD + mode ).

Step 2:

In the BLOS interface, enable boot from a USB flash drive. The BLOS interface for different models is similar. The Boot option can be found mainly. If it cannot be found, Baidu will be performed based on the model. Insert the winpe disk and restart the host. The system will directly access the winpe system. You can view the disk in the disk management and find that the disk cannot be viewed at all. Only a single USB flash disk is displayed. At this time, it is generally necessary to enter the mode of the hard disk under the BLOS settings for compatible mode, different machine sets different methods, http://bbs.cfanclub.net/thread-463241-1-1.html related brand machine sub-device method description.

Step 3:

After the settings are complete, restart and enter winpe. In disk management, you can see the hard disk of your computer. If you want to format the partition, you cannot proceed. The original partition of this hard disk is in GPT mode and you need to install windows, you need to use the MBR hard disk mode and switch the partition mode. Fortunately, the winpe of old Mao Tao is quite powerful. There is a disk management software in it, which directly converts the GPT mode to the MBR mode. There are other methods for conversion on the Internet, such as directly using the diskpart command. You can try it and find that there is no diskpart command in winpe.

Step 4:

After the hard disk is switched to MBR mode, restart and enter winpe again. At this time, you can re-partition the hard disk.

Step 5:

Replace the boot disk of win7 and install the system.

Step 6:

Complete the win7 system installation. In the last step, open the windowsloader software and crack it. OK.

Happy Mother's Day!
