Vista installation Detailed Flowchart solution

Objective

Windows Vista (codename Longhorn), even if the lid uncle afraid of "Longhorn" This name let Microsoft's next generation system continue to dystocia, so gave him a good point of name it, but Vista server version is still called Longhorn. A joke, but it is indeed the most dystocia system in history-from 2002 to now, the official release date dragged on. Now that Microsoft has finally released the Beta 2 version of Windows Vista, I'll give you the latest CTP5456.5 version as an example of how Vista is installed.

First of all to talk about the system requirements of Vista, compared to the previous Microsoft client system is still very scary, such as the need for 512MB of memory, want to experience the gorgeous interface Vista also needs a high-end graphics card and so on. At least this configuration of the younger brother's computer can be used (P4 630 3.0G,1024MB memory, MSI 6600GT video card) PS: Again, I set up the virtual machine, because some of the installation younger brother had to install on the virtual machine to the best screenshot of the activity, virtual Server The R2 (software performance is good, but less customized) 512MB virtual memory, 16G virtual active hard disk, but even with only 256MB memory computer should also be able to run, of course, the premise is at the expense of many special effects, new features, and so on. No more nonsense, go to the point, install ...

Pre-Installation Preparation

If you obtained a mirrored file of the Windows Vista installation CD by downloading it, you first need to burn it to a disc. This requires you to have a DVD burner and the appropriate burn software.

When burning, note that because of the volume relationship of the file, you cannot burn it to a CD, you must use a DVD disc, which requires you to have a DVD burner. Also, because it is a beta software, it is recommended that you burn the file to a erasable DVD±RW or Dvd-ram disc in order not to waste the disc.

You cannot use the Windows XP operating system's own burn feature because it can only burn files on your hard disk into a CD-ROM, and you cannot burn mirrored files in "mirrored" form. Take the Nero Burning ROM 7 Simplified Chinese version as an example, you need to select the burn image File command under Nero's Burner menu, and then select the downloaded. iso file to start burning.
