Windows XP is Microsoft's Windows operating system, so far the largest volume, the longest time required to install, the function is also known as the most powerful products. It takes about 50-80 minutes to install XP, so what does XP do in such a long time? Why do some people claim that installing XP destroys their original system or files, and we'll take a closer look at the key steps of XP installation to make it clear that the security essentials for installing XP operations are:
First, unpack the data packets, copy temporary files
Setup is mainly in the C disk to create a temporary directory, the installation program in some of the compressed packets in the directory, to prepare for installation. XP compressed installation file has reached hundreds of trillion, copy to the temporary directory also has 二、三百兆, so the installation of DOS must load SMARTDRV.EXE, forget the words installation process will be lengthened several times, attention! To load the Himem.sys first in the Config.sys, otherwise the light type SMARTDRV is invalid. Typically this process takes 8-15 minutes, and depends on your hardware capabilities. People who do not load smartdrv may be forced to reboot the damaged partition table because the copy process is so lengthy that the panic occurs. This is the first kind of danger.
Second, check the partition and the original version of Windows
Starting with Windows2000, Microsoft's installer has the ability to detect user hard drives and partitions. If your partition is not 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 is a novice, choose to format NTFS, if the XP installer in the conversion format in the middle of the crash, it is likely to damage the partition table, and NTFS can not be started with a DOS boot disk, the novice is very likely to be overwhelmed, forced to use Fdisk repartition and loss of all data. This is the second danger, suggest novice or use FAT32 format good. If you really want to transform, it is recommended to use PQ Division master, Fast and safe.
