Installing Windows Step-by-step instructions

Step 1. Before installing Windows, be sure to transfer all of your important data On another logical disk (D, E, ...) or at all on another medium. In the case, if, all the data you need, you can copy using Live CD systems.

Live CD is an operating system loaded from a changeable media (CD, DVD, USB drive, etc.), which does not require installation on a hard disk for its operation. Ie essentially the same windows, but working with removable media.

Step 2. Next, insert the Windows XP disk into the DVD-ROM, when you boot a computer, you must select the download from the CD-ROMA. To do this, you can enter the BIOS and set the device from which the download will go or can be made easier, as soon as the computer has turned on, press the F8 or F12 key (when loading, as a rule is written, how the key you want to click to select the device from which you download First of all) and when the selection window appears, select your DVD drive.

You have a window can be slightly different. If your hard disk is broken into several sections, respectively, all they will be here. In this case, select "disk with" and click "Enter (Enter). If the installation occurs on a new hard drive, it will be about the same way as in the screenshot above. In this case, simply press "ENTER.

Step 4. In the next step, you will be prompted to format the disk to which the system will be installed:

I strongly recommend always formatting the section before installing (just before you do not forget to keep all your important data, otherwise they will be irrevocably lost). Choose format in the NTFS system, you can quickly, it is not so important. If the disc is a new one, then here without options, it will be necessary to format it in any case. Selected - Pressed "Enter" - the program formats the section and start copying files to a hard disk.

Step 5. How the files are copied, the computer will automatically restart and install Windows will continue. After some time, a window will appear:

click the Next button, then enter the administrator name - license key Product - Computer Name - Set the time and time zone and all, installing Windows will continue on your own. If any additional windows appear, simply click "Next" and that's it.

Step 6. Conclusion. After a half hour, installing Windows will end and the computer will reboot. Next you will need to introduce your name account and activate their own a copy of Windows, and that is all.

Now you know how to reinstall Windows XP and that it is available to each PC user. It remains only to install the drivers and the necessary programs.

We look for an image on the Internet. To do this, you can enter a browser string. windows XP SP3 download.

VLK's attack suggests that the activation this assembly does not require. The only thing that may require is the key. Find it in the information when you download the image and save it. We also read what the full and lightweight versions are different and decide what you need. I like the full version.

Another plus of these assemblies. They have added a package of the AHCI MassStorage drivers to work in AHCI mode. This mode is responsible for supporting NCQ technology, which can significantly lift the performance of the drive and therefore the system as a whole. Therefore, we will install the operating system in AHCI mode.

You can download image from http://idimm72.ucoz.net/, but it is not comfortable and slow. It is better to find and quickly download this assembly on. For example or.

The downloaded file is called: WindowsXP_SP3_IDIMM_EMEEMM_EMDITION_FULL_V.24.12.ISO.

Before writing the file to the disk, it is necessary to verify that it would make sure that the error has not happened during the download process and the downloaded image is 100% identical to the original.

Tab File Hashes.

Copy the MD5 amount indicated below and insert the hash comparison in the field:. If the file is identical to the original, instead of a picture with a question mark, a green "bird" will appear, if not, a red cross will appear.

The article reviewed how to install windows xp. Namely: where and how to download the image of the operating system, how to record the downloaded image on the disk, how to directly install the operating system and how to install the drivers. The first time to establish it hard and for a long time, but every time you will get it all easier and faster. In fact, the operating system is the same program as others, just with small nuances of the installation.

Another pleasant news. The time of stable operation of the operating system will increase with each)

I hope I managed as simple as possible and more affordable to talk about how to install windowsIn our case, Windows XP.

The operating system is the basis of the software computer device, so to speak "the brain" and represents a set of programs, with which the resources management, external computer equipment takes place and its interconnection with the user is performed.

The operating system is installed on a new "clean" computer or laptop after purchase, since without it the computer remains unsuitable for operation, because in addition to the BIOS, there is nothing from the program part. However, it is often necessary to perform Windows reinstallation, i.e. Installation instead of already existing OS.

"Cut, without waiting for peritonitis!" Or, in what cases it is worth reinstalling the operating system Windows XP

The famous quote from the popular film is eloquently answering the question when there is a need for such a cardinal step as reinstalling Windows XP.

The most common reasons are the following:

Systematic appearance of errors, "freezes", "braking", frequent spontaneous reboots arising due to systemic garbage, incorrect removal of programs, the involvement of the computer, which ultimately can lead to a serious failure in its work and the loss of valuable information;

The impossibility of loading in general, i.e. The appearance of the blue "death screen";

In any case, it is necessary to decide on such cardinal actions such as reinstalling, only after a careful analysis of the device, repeated attempts to "do small blood", I.e. Performing actions to improve its condition: Guidance of the order in the registry, cleaning the disc from trash files, defragmentation, "Sanations" from viruses, etc. If nothing helps, it means that the process went too far and requires an extreme measure - reinstalling the system.

It should be remembered that reinstalling the operating system means the full loss of data on the disk C, and when formatting the hard drive, information on all logic disks. Therefore, before you start installing Windows XP, carefully analyze and save the desired files to flash memory, portable disk or other computer, as well as take care of the drivers: It's a shame when after installation new systemShe will not "see" old external devices. After these manipulations, you can proceed to the immediate reinstall. Further instruction is designed to install the disk if you want to use a USB flash drive, use this manual.
