XP system Installation Considerations resolution

Mention the installation of XP system I'm sure you're familiar with it. The highest-rate system in the world is highly recognized by users, but XP is also the most problematic system installed in all systems, whether it's a software or a system installation that needs to be unpacked or compressed, and file size may take dozens of minutes. , the small only takes a few seconds, and XP system is the installation of all systems in the longest system software, sometimes installed to spend nearly one hours of time, after the installation of the total number of problems, sometimes a few times can not be fixed, which makes many users are not clear the problem is where, To resolve the installation considerations for XP system

Unpack packets, copy temporary files

When installing system software, the file is usually installed in C disk, the system will automatically create a new folder, and then release the installed files into this folder. XP compressed installation file has reached hundreds of trillion, copy to the temporary directory also has 二、三百兆, so the DOS installation must load "SMARTDRV." EXE ", forget the words installation process will be lengthened several times, note to be in" CONFIG. SYS "HIMEM first." SYS ", otherwise the light type" smartdrv "is not valid. Typically this process takes 8-15 minutes and is determined by hardware performance. The failure to load "smartdrv" may cause a corrupted partition table to be forcibly restarted because the copy process is particularly lengthy.

Continue copying, extracting files and detecting Plug and Play devices

After entering the XP installation graphical interface, Setup begins to copy files, primarily to generate application groups and menus for the official directory where XP is installed. After the installation of XP has entered a later stage, the system will be tested for hardware configuration to install the correct driver for the Plug and Play hardware device.

Many bad compatibility hardware will be in this step blue screen or automatically jump or panic, if overclocking system or the use of inferior plug equipment, the probability of a problem is very large, this is a potential loss of data after the risk.

Setup takes over the boot zone

While copying temporary files, the XP installer also writes to the C-disk boot area for the startup basic files required to load the NT kernel. If you press reset when the installer copies files, or crash, power off, and other accidents, then the installation of XP will probably not be completed, the system is likely to be paralyzed, even if the original installation of other versions of Windows is not valid, Because the XP installer sets its boot file with the highest priority.

So you have to have a DOS system disk in case you have a problem. After booting with the system disk, go to the installation directory of XP to start the installer again to fix it. If it is a normal exit, the XP installer will automatically continue the installation task the next time. This process of takeover is a very important step.

Check partition status and original version of Windows

Starting with Windows2000, Microsoft's installer has the ability to detect user hard drives and partitions. If the partition is not yet formatted, the installer also provides the ability to format the partition, which can be formatted as FAT, FAT32, NTFS, and so on, and Microsoft's recommended format is NTFS, and the option to install the partition format as NTFS appears in the list.

If the user chooses to format the NTFS,XP installer to crash in the middle of the conversion format, it is likely that the partition table will also be broken, and NTFS cannot be started with a DOS boot disk, and some users may be overwhelmed and forcibly repartition with Fdisk to lose all data.

First boot after installation is complete

After the device is detected and the file is copied, XP will again ask the user to restart the computer for the loaded driver to take effect, and the normally installed machine can complete the process in 2-3 minutes. At this point XP finally installed, should see the blue background of the word "welcome", if the motherboard CMOS does not have power, resulting in the system date set to 1999 such an invalid date, the XP date inspection mechanism will be in the "Welcome to use" interface lock the computer, without any hint and no options, In addition to a mouse to move the rest of the other similar to suspended animation, if you do not pay attention to the date, regardless of any repair operation will be ineffective, it is likely that the installation failed to format the partition, loss of data.

Through the small series of the above introduction, I believe that the installation of XP system attention, although the installation of XP has been a very common operation, but to install the process smoothly, you still need to carefully do every step.
