Installed WINDOVS XP. Installing Windows XP from disk. III Stage: Setup after installing Windows

Friends, this article we open a new section dedicated to how to work properly with the computer. We will consemble such questions as installing Windows XP correctly, as well as update drivers and other programs of everyday use.

Many will say: " What is there to put there? Is it simple there?". And you know that the incorrect installation of the OS in most cases is the main cause of faults when working on a computer, ranging from banal hanging and braking, ending with the hardware errors.

From how you put the operating system to your computer, will depend on how well it will serve you. So, we understand how to install Windows XP correctly.

We did not find enough material on the Internet on this topic, but we did not find simple and adequate disclosure. Also, as a simplification of perception and a better understanding of the OS installation process, a video story was prepared with a detailed description.

Such trifles as "buying a disc with the operating system", "whether to read the license agreement," no attention was paid. Plot special attention to the primary setting of the installed system.

Main steps to install Windows XP

• 1. The first thing to do is change to the BIOS download order to "download from an optical disk". To do this, when loading the OS, you must click " F2.", Or" Del.", And go to the tab" Boot.", Where, pressing the key" + " or " — ", Edit the order order so that the record" CD-ROM DRIVE"Was in the top.

• 2. Save the settings by pressing the "key" F10.". When rebooting the computer will appear inscription " Press Any Key to Boot From CD .."You must click any key to start loading from the installation disk.
• 3. Next will begin to prepare for the installation of the operating system. When the welcome window appears, the system again will ask you to confirm the intention of installing a new OS, click the "Enter" key.
• 4. When a license agreement appears, click " F8."To accept it and continue the installation.
• 5. If you reinstall the OS, the installation program will try to restore the installed version. We do not need this, click "ESC".
• 6. Next, perhaps the most important thing. Selecting a section for installation. If you already have a a priori hard disk is divided into logical sections: system and one or more user, then it is very good. Then it will only be necessary to delete the system partition, then create it, formatting and install a new OS on it.

If your hard disk has not been imprisoned before, it is necessary to do it now. For what? Everything is very simple. Sharing a hard disk on the system part and custom, you create a seat airbag. When you fail at the worst case, you simply reinstall the OS on the formatted system section, but the user data will remain safe on the user section.

How to modify the hard disk, look in the video. As an example, a hard disk was considered in the video lesson, a capacity of 10 GB. If your hard allows you to make a system section of at least 20 GB.

• 7. Next, it is necessary to format the section with the NTFS file system type. Select Quick Formatting.
• 8. System to reboot, use a convenient point and restore the BIOS settings from the hard disk, and not with CD-ROM. How to do it we have already considered in the very first steps.
• 9. After rebooting the system will continue to install. The first window that appeared will be " Window regional settings"Where you need to select the keyboard layout.
• 10. Next, the installation program will ask you to enter the name and name of the organization. Enter only the name and click Next.
• 11. In the window that appears, enter the license key of the product. Be careful.
• 12. Install the name of the computer. The administrator password field is still empty.

Swipe the desired date and time settings. One thing, at the moment we have legally canceled the transition to winter time. I advise you to set the appropriate update from the official Microsoft website (WindowsXP-KB2570791-X86-RUS). This can be done after installing the OS.

• 13. Next, it is necessary to determine whether the computer will work in the domain network or not. We do not change anything, click " Further". We wait until the installation program finishes its work and reboots.

• 14. When you first start the system will try to automatically configure the screen extension. Accept them if you are satisfied with the selected option. When the welcoming window is appeared, " Further", Posting the automatic update settings, skip the settings to the Internet, register to Microsoft.
• 15. Create an account.
• 16. Primary OS configuration is required. Watch the video and all perform step by step. After spending all the settings, you will get the optimally configured computer prepared for operation.

Step number 2. Do not load from the disk when you turn on (reboot)

After the first step we did, we received a ready-made disk with the Windows XP operating system. Next, we need to make it so that the disk created by us is automatically loaded when the computer is turned on (reboot). To do this, go to the bios of our computer, so I reboot and click on the key delete. For the transition ( if it does not enter the key delete. Try F1, F2. or F10. ). When you turn on the computer on the initial screen, it is usually seen which key leads to the BIOS.

As a result, we fall into the BIOS of our computer. Next, select the tab Advanced Bios Features.

Here we put " Yes, this computer will be connected to the Internet"Press further.

Choose " no, some other times"Press further.

Enter the name of your account and go on .

That's all. Installing Windows XP has been successfully completed.

Upon completion of the installation, the system will need to install the drivers, for the proper operation of the component equipment, and not to look for a bunch of drivers separately on the Internet, I advise you to read the article Set any driver using DriverPack Solution, you can install all drivers at the same time.

ABOUTput your opinion about this article, well, of course, ask your questions if something suddenly went wrong.

Thanks for attention!

Despite its hopeless obsolescence, the Windows XP operating system is still very popular among users, thanks to the simplicity of working with it and sufficiently high stability. In some ratings, it is even ahead of the "seven." Further, the question proposes the question of how to install Windows XP from the disk and make an initial system setup. It is believed that the installation should not be installed, but in fact it is necessary to pay attention to some important nuances, without an understanding of which the system installation may be unsuccessful.

Create installation disk Windows XP

In the first stage, we will proceed from the fact that the original installation disk has no user. Loading Windows XP can be carried out as an image from the official Microsoft website or from another (required trusted) source.

At the same time, you should immediately pay attention to the content of the loaded distribution. Only the one in which the second and third service packs are initially available are recommended, so that you are not engaged in a manual installation.

Record the image on the optical care carrier is not. To do this, you can use multiple programs for working with images (for example, Ultraiso or Nero Burning ROM). If you want to create a Windows XP multi-load drive, it is best to use a tiny utility called WindowsSetupFromusB, but already for recording the distribution on the USB flash drive.

BIOS preliminary settings

So, we assume that the installation distribution is recorded. Now it is necessary to make it so that you can boot from it. To do this, use the settings of the primary I / O system BIOS. Usually, in stationary computers, the input is carried out by pressing the DEL key, but other keys (F1, F12) or a combination of them can be used in different laptop models.

To be recognized as booting, you need to find a section called like boot, boot priority, boot sequence and first in the list of boot devices through pressing the PGUP / PGDOWN key to install an optical drive (CD / DVD-ROM).

Starting installation

After carrying out all the preparatory actions, you can move to solving the problem of how to install Windows XP from the disk, directly. After turning on the computer and start from the removable device, a black screen will appear with a list of prescription of any key to boot from the disk. Keep in mind that you will have only five seconds to make a decision. Otherwise, it will be loaded from the next device (usually a hard disk) provided that it has a bootloader installed or even a damaged OS.

Next, the preload screen of the basic installation components will appear and the string at the bottom with the installation of the installation of additional SCSI and RAID drivers. In most cases, it is not necessary, however, if there are several hard drives on the computer combined into the same RAID array, the installation must be applied. But it will proceed from the fact that the user has one hard drive.

Selecting the section and formatting

At the next stage, a welcome screen will appear with actions to choose from:

• immediate system installation;
• restoration of the damaged system through the console;
• failure to install.

Select the first point by pressing the input key. Next, agree with the license agreement and to continue installation, click F8 (tips will appear at each stage of the installation).

After that, there will be scanning for previously installed copies, after which it will be necessary to make a choice in favor of installing the new system (ESC).

Now on the question of how to install Windows XP from the disk, the most important thing begins. First of all, it is necessary to determine the system partition and its size. In the case of installation on a new hard drive, on which there were no logical partitions, an unallocated area (full volume) will be shown.

It is undesirable to allocate all the space under the system section (this may later play a dick joke). It is better to break the disk immediately by pressing the C key, and specifying the required volume in MB (40-60 GB can be distinguished for the system, but not less than 20 GB). Immediately pay attention to the time that for the normal operation of Windows XP in the system section, there must always be free of about 10-15% of its size and after installing the OS, and after installing user programs. After returning to the sections screen, you can start formatting (but later a little later).

If the hard drive has already been broken, and it has an old system, the user will show all the available sections. If necessary, all sections can be deleted (when the section is selected, the D key is pressed). If the user disk structure suits, simply select the desired partition in which the system was installed earlier and proceed to formatting.

In the case of new hard drives, you can immediately choose quick formatting in NTFS. If the operation applies to the already existing partition, several options will be offered to choose from. It is best to make full formatting in NTFS. But to save data, you can leave the file system unchanged. Most likely, it will be further a warning that the Windows system directory already exists, with a suggestion of the current copy or select a new folder. Here - if desired (all the same, the Windows XP folder of the old version, if any previously present, will be saved).

Now it remains to wait for the completion of copying files, after which there will be a reboot and setting the system in normal graphical mode.

Installation of initial parameters

At the following stages, on how to install Windows XP from a disk, the user's action is quite simple. When rebooting, it is necessary to remove the optical media from the drive, otherwise again get the pre-start screen.

After the start of the installer, the language and region is selected (it is not necessary to change anything to change if you have a Russian copy of the system), then, if required, the username and name of the organization (optional) fits, after which the product key is entered (without it the installation will not be continued ). Working keys, by and large, you can easily find on the Internet.

At the next step, you need to register the name of the computer and specify the administrator password (this can be done later). Next, the date and time is configured (usually nothing needs to be changed), and the screen may appear with the selection of the network card settings. Boldly select "Ordinary Parameters" and specify that the computer does not participate in the network (group and domain is better to choose at the end of the installation).

Finishing installation

That's just the drivers of devices will start. Upon completion, several additional windows may appear. For example, the system will ask for an agreement to install the optimal screen resolution. You need to agree with this.

Then the welcome blue screen starts, in which most of the actions can be skipped (for example, postpone protection, checking Internet connections and registration in Microsoft). Finally, it will remain to enter the names of the accounts that will be registered in the system. You can enter only your data, after which there will be notified of the completion of the installation.

Pressing the "Finish" button will lead to the appearance of the "Desktop" with the whole familiar picture. This installation can be considered complete (if the service packs were present in the distribution, they will be installed automatically, otherwise they must be installed on their own).

Typical errors when installing the system

Of course, of course, it is possible to meet both Windows XP errors, and it is during the installation of the system. The most frequent phenomenon is bsod (blue screen). The installation is impossible due to the incorrectly installed mode for the hard disk.

If the BIOS firmware mismatch appears, it is necessary to disable the ACPI mode during the installation.

Perhaps the disc itself has damage or scratches. Just write down the distribution to another media and try to set the system again.

Initial setup Windows XP

Initially, the system in special settings usually does not need. But to reduce the load on the computer resources, it is desirable to disable some background services activated by default and starting with the system.

In the Console "Run" (Win + R), enter the MSConfig system access command, go to the AutoWard tab and disconnect everything that is there, leaving the CTFMON process, which is responsible for displaying the language in the tray and change the keyboard layouts.

Required Additional Software

Then be sure to install protective software, since there is practically no protection in the "expsh". Antiviruses for Window XP are quite varied and problems with the installation are not caused. However, based on the fact that this version of the system is usually used on relatively low-power machines, it is not necessary to install heavyweight packages like the Kaspersky Lab software products. It is better to limit yourself to some lightweight versions (Avira, Panda Cloud, etc.).

Nevertheless, if on antiviruses for Window XP, in terms of maximum protection, you can use NOD32 or Smart Security packages from ESET. True, you will have to activate them every month with special keys that are freely distributed on the Internet.

Finally, it will remain to install an archiver, a set of codecs, a browser flash player, an office package and some other applications that may need to be used in the process.

A fairly convenient option when booting Windows XP to the device is to use a special flash drive. WinToflash program will be installed here. When it starts for the first time, it is necessary to agree with the user's agreement and click OK. Next, the main application window is issued, which has the following form.

Since the program is completely translated into Russian, the process of working with it is significantly simplified. To create a boot flash drive, you must use the wizards. He suggests escort in all stages of this process. There is another approach to the implementation of the task. To do this, you need to open the "Advanced Mode" tab and click on the "Transfer of Windows XP Installation program to the drive." You should select the appropriate disk if it is not specified. After that, the "Create" button is pressed.

Now you need to set the location of Windows XP files. There are various options here - they can be located on a hard disk, a CD or in the form of an image. The last moment deserves separate consideration. In the presence of an image of ISO, you should open it by any archiver with the subsequent unpacking.

The next stage lies in the task of which flash drive should become loading. Be sure to take into account the fact that it will entail the deletion of all data without the possibility of their recovery in the future. It is recommended to preserve the preservation of important information on the hard disk. The transformation process itself takes some time and you just need to wait.

As you can see from the written manual, creating a Windows XP boot flash drive using WinToflash does not represent problems. The application provides two main modes of performing this task. The master accompanies the user and is a classic approach. Advanced mode allows you to specify specific parameters. For example, here you can attribute the choice of the type of loader, set the correction of some errors and the other. If it does not say anything to you, but it is not necessary to use the extended mode.

You can download the program on the official website of the developer //wintoflash.com/home/ru/

Creating a loading flash drive using - WinsetUpfromusb

Pretty big popularity when creating boot flash drives, the WinsetupFromusB program uses. It is a free software distributed and offers a simple process of performing the task. This application provides the possibility of using for a wide range of goals.

It should be considered in more detail the process:

1. The USB flash drive must be inserted into the USB device port and run the program.
2. It is required to specify the path to the flash drive. If it is the only connected information storage device, it will be default. When the location is indicated, the bootice is pressed.
3. A special Bootice window is displayed, where you need to click "Perform Format". There will be several points to choose from, among which you need to specify USB-HDD MODE (Single Partition). The formatting message is displayed and it should be confirmed. As in the previous case, it is recommended to pre-maintain all important maintenance.
4. When formatting is completed, you need to press "Process MBR", where the "GRUB FOR DOS" it is selected and press the "Install / Config" button. When the process is completed, Bootice can be closed.
5. Now you need to specify where Windows XP operating system files will be taken. As for the previous method, there are several approaches, and the principle of action remains the same. When the location is indicated, the "GO" button is pressed and it is expected before the task is executed.

The main advantage of WinsetupFromusB is an in-depth approach that allows you to use a large functionality. The program is great for advanced users.

Hard disk preparation during Windows XP installation

Before starting the Windows XP installation process on your computer's hard disk, it must be prepared. It should be understood that the installation of several operating systems for one logical disk is not possible, since in this case none of the systems will be able to work correctly. Therefore, before installation, it is necessary to format the HDD partition to which we will be installed.

We start with the previously created loading flash drive,

After that, "Installing Windows XP Professional" will appear on the monitor. At this time, the processer boot process is occurring, which are necessary for the operation of the OS installation program.

After that, a window appears, which suggests choosing one of several options for continuing work. We need to start installing Windows XP, so we click the Enter key and agree with the first item.

We read the license agreement from Microsoft and agree with it by pressing the F8 key.

After that, we see a window in which we are invited to restore the previous version of Windows. Such a message You will see only if one of the Windows XP versions are already installed on your computer. In any case, we recommend not to restore the system, but to start installing the new version, since only this option is able to solve all the problems and ensure the stable and reliable operation of the computer. To do this, press the ESC key.

Now the installer shows us a list of logical partitions on the hard disk. It is recommended to install the new version of Windows XP on the same section in which the old version was previously installed, as a rule, this is a C drive. Select this section and press the Enter key.

Now we have to choose the type of file system, which will be created on a logical disk after formatting. For modern computers, in most cases, the NTFS file system is best suited, so we select the "Format section in the NTFS system" and click the Enter key.

After that, the installer will show a window with a warning that all information from this partition of the hard disk will be deleted during the formatting. If all important information was transferred to other sections in advance - boldly press F.
The formatting process begins, which can take a fairly long time, depending on the volume of the logical disk.

Upon completion of the formatting process, the installation program will automatically start copying Windows XP files to your computer.

After that, an automatic reboot of the computer will be performed. The system will start loading from the hard disk of the computer and the Windows XP installation process will start in graphical mode.

Windows XP installation process - the main stage

This section will give a direct answer to the question "How to install Windows XP". This information is absolutely identical to both the Windows XP installation process with a CD and to install Windows XP from a flash drive on a laptop. Stages "Collecting information", "Dynamic update" and "Preparation for installation" occur without our participation. After that, we are invited to configure the language, regional standards for displaying numbers and monetary units. To do this, click on the "Configure" button in the section "Location". In the drop-down menu, choose your country and click OK. After that, again click on the "Set" button, but this time in the "Language" section. In the first drop-down menu, we can choose the language that will be used by default when the computer is loaded. You can add input languages \u200b\u200bbelow by clicking the "Add" button (by default two languages, Russian and English). If you press the "Keyboard" button, we will fall into the menu in which you can set the key to turn off the CAPS LOCK mode, as well as change the keyboard shortcut to switch the keyboard layout. Upon completion of the language settings, click "Next" and go to the next window.

Here we are invited to introduce your own name and name of the organization. We introduce absolutely any data and click "Next".

Now you need to enter a 25-digit license key to your copy of Windows. This key is on the box, if you use a licensed copy. In the case of pirate products, it must be in a text file. We enter this key, check the correctness of the input and click the "Next" button.

After that, a window appears to install the computer name and user password with administrator rights. In case of work on a home computer, you choose your own name, which will later be assigned to your PC in the home network. If you work on a corporate computer - check it with the network administrator. The administrator password, which you install in the same window, should be remembered or recorded because it will be necessary every time Windows startup.

In the next window, we are given the ability to customize the date and time. Select the desired settings and click "Next".

After that, go to the "Setting Network Settings" window. Best of all at this stage, skip the setting of the local network and execute it later, at the end of the installation. To do this, select the "Options" clause clamp the "Next" button.

We leave the Working Group without changes "Workgroup" and click Next.

After that, the system files on the hard disk of your computer begins. Wait for the installation process to complete, after which the first launch of Windows XP will occur. If at this time the automatic configuration of the monitor is started - wait for it and press OK.

In this window, click the left mouse button on "OK"

After that, we will see the Animated Windows XP Welcome Window.

After that, a window appears with a request to turn on the Windows automatic update system. From experience, it should be noted that it is better to leave the automatic update disconnected. And update the system manually.

Next, we will be prompted to configure the Internet connection and activate the copy of the OS. This stage can be skipped while.

Everything is ready to register in Microsoft? We answer this question "No, somehow another time" and press further.

The following window offers to enter your account name, as well as other users who will also work for this computer. Note that the accounts with the names administrator and the guest were created during the installation process of the OS.

On this installation of Windows XP is complete, click the "Finish" button and enjoy a clean operating system.

As everyone is known to work with the computer, we need an operating system, which over time comes to the "nozzles" in due to viruses, "garbage" and other factors. Many believe that it is better to seek reinstalling to a professional, but I offer you a step-by-step instructions for installing Windows XP. According to which you will not have a doubt that you yourself will be able to install Windows XP.

Why do you have to reinstall Windows?
According to statistics, having even good protection of the computer from viruses and careful circulation once every three years still have to reinstall Windows XP. "Garbage" which accumulates in the system. This sometimes residues from removing programs and games where settings are contained, configuration files and other system files of the old application. Many programs make entries in the registry, and after deleting the record, still remains "live" in the system. It also happens that the computer hook and it is not how it does not work "revive" and the output suggests itself: you need to install a new Windows XP.

Configuring a computer to boot from the disk.
Usually when loading a computer for a moment, the motherboard screensaver appears, the Zeta is checking POST and here we see the greeting "Windows XP". To install, we do not need to run Windows myself, and you need to run the disk from our way Windows XP. To do this, go to the BIOS. To enter the BIOS, you must press the DEL or F1 key when the computer is turned on. (On laptops used F1, F2, F3, DEL, Ctrl + Alt + Esc. If not one combination did not come up, then it is necessary to look at the office as log in to the BIOS).

Most often there are only two types of BIOS:

1. PHOENIX AWARDBIOS.
If you have exactly this version, you need to do the following: enter the Advanced Bios Features section, select the First Boot Device item and assign the CD-ROM value. Then press the F10 key (to save options and output) and in the dialog box that appears, select YES.

2. American Megatrends BIOS.
In this version, the background will be gray and sections will be spelled out by a string at the top. First you need to enter the BOOT section, then the Boot Device Priority subsection and in paragraph 1st boot device, select your CD-ROM drive. And as well as in Phoenix Awardbios, press the F10 key and confirm Yes.
On this computer configuration.

Running Windows Installer.
First of all, you need to insert a disk with windows into the drive and restart the computer. On a dark screen, we will see the inscription "Press Any Key to Boot from CD", which means - press any key to load the disk that we do. This inscription is displayed at no more than five seconds, so you need to immediately click on any key. If you did not have time, you should restart the computer and press the key again.

On the monitor we will see what the Windows installation went. Do not interfere with the exception if you want to install a special RAID or SCSI driver. In this case, you need to press the F6 key.

Next, we will be offered:
1. Start installing Windows XP (Enter key)
2. Restore windows (R)
3. Exit the installer (key F3)

We click ENTER and a license agreement appears, for the agreement and continue installing the clamp F8. Next, you must select the hard disk section to which installation will be made. If the disk is new and there is only an unbalanced area on it, you must create a section (C key), specify the required size in it.

We will also be asked to format a hard disk fast and usual. Formatting is best to produce the usual with the NTFS file system. After all, it will finally go to the long-awaited installation of Windows XP, upon completion, the computer will reboot itself and the window will appear with the inscription "Press Any Key to Boot From CD", this time we do not click!

This window will appear in which it is not necessary to change, but in the following, we must introduce the name and organization.
