2. Select and enter the second item, "BIOS Settings". Find the entry or group containing the BOOT text, and find three entries "first", "secend" and "third" arranged in sequence, representing the first boot, the second boot and the third boot respectively. Here we can set it to CD-ROM drive, floppy drive and hard disk in turn. (If you don't see these three E's on this page, the option menu on the right side of the boot is usually "Settings", and you can see them by pressing Enter. You should select "the first one" and then press enter, and select CD-ROM in the submenu that comes out. Press enter again.
3. After selecting the startup mode, press F 10 to open the E-text dialog box, and press "Y" (which can be omitted) to enter, and the computer will automatically restart, which proves that the changed settings are effective.
Step 2, install XP system from CD.
Insert the XP installation CD before restarting. When you see the word CD at the bottom of the screen, press Enter. Only when the light is turned on can the computer start reading the hard disk, which means skipping the light and starting from the hard disk.
After the XP system disk is opened, an installation interface with a blue background will appear. At this point, the system will automatically analyze the computer information without any operation until the display screen turns black, and then a Chinese interface with a blue background will appear.
At this time, the first protocol of XP system appeared. Press F8 (indicating agreement with this agreement), and you can see the information list of all partitions of the hard disk with Chinese operation instructions. Select drive C and press D to delete the partition (remember to back up the useful files of drive C first). The location of drive C becomes "unpartitioned", and then press the c key to create a partition in the original location of drive C (that is, the "unpartitioned" location). There is no need to resize the partition. After that, the position of the original C disk becomes "new unused" and press enter to continue.
Next, there may be a page with the option of formatting partitions. It is recommended to select "Format partitions with FAT32 (fast)". Press enter to continue.
The system began to format drive C, which was very fast. After formatting, the hard disk and the previous WINDOWS operating system are analyzed, which is also very fast, followed by copying files, which takes about 8 to 13 minutes (depending on the machine configuration).
After copying the file (100%), the system will automatically restart. When you see the CD-ROM again, you don't need to press any key to boot the system from the hard disk, because some installation files have been copied to the hard disk (note: you can't take out the CD at this time).
A color XP installation interface with a blue background appears, and the installation progress bar and remaining time are displayed on the left. The initial value is 39 minutes, which is also determined according to the configuration of the machine. Usually, the installation time of P4 and 2.4 machines is about 15 to 20 minutes.
At this point, until the installation is finished, the computer will automatically restart, and there is no need to do anything except enter the serial number and computer information (fill in at will) and press Enter for 2 or 3 times. The system will automatically complete the installation.
The third step is to install the driver.
1. After restarting, take out the CD, let the computer boot from the hard disk and enter the XP setting window.
2. Click Next, Skip, and select No Registration and Finish.
3. Enter the XP system desktop.
4. Right-click the desktop, select Properties, select the Display tab, click the "Customize Desktop" item, select "My Computer", and then select "OK" to exit.
5. Return to the desktop, right-click my computer, select Properties, select the Hardware tab, and then select Device Manager. All computer hardware has a management window, and all options with yellow question marks and exclamation marks in front represent hardware without drivers installed. Double-click to open its properties, select Reinstall the driver, put the corresponding driver CD, and select Automatic Installation. (Audio is a sound card, VGA is a graphics card, and SM is the motherboard. You need to install the motherboard driver first. If there is no SM item, installation is not required. ). After installing all drivers, restart the computer. Driver installation is complete.
