Speaking of 8 operating systems, I want everyone to feel some incredible, even if the machine is now fast, the hard disk is big, and it is not a bit? Is this not a torch? ! Also, although each operating system has advantages and disadvantages, and you prefer to play some newly launched operating systems, it is more than enough to install three or four systems. Previously a typical situation is to install Windows98 or Windows98se, Windows2000 or Windowsnt, and then a Linux; now WindowsXP has been launched, maybe you will try it.
People, always explore peaks, computer enthusiasts should be more like this, just in order to take 80 points, you need to use 90 points to prepare, deal with 8 operating systems coexistence, and also three or four operations System? However, the article starts us first takes out several examples of the most commonly used multi-system coexistence!
First, Windows98 (or Windows98se) coexists with Windows2000
First install Windows98, don't say more about Windows98 methods? Start with the Windows98 boot disk, ready to install. Based on Windows98, the Windows2000 is installed, and the Windows2000 installer can be executed directly in the Windows 98 interface, or set to the BIOS to start from the optical drive, and the Windows2000 installation interface will be automatically popped and installed. After the installation is complete, multiple boot menu is automatically generated. If you want to enter which system, move the upper and lower cursor keys, enter it.
If Windows2000 is first installed, then after starting the floppy disk with a Windows98, you can only go to Windows98. At this time, you can start the computer with the Windows2000 system floppy disk, and then repair it with the emergency disk of Windows2000, specifically refer to " The article "I have installed multi-system actual combat" in the 22nd issue of 2000.
When installing, it is best to install two systems in two different partitions, so that the application is installed and managed.
Second, WindowsMe coexists with Windows2000
The easiest way is to install Windowsme first, then use the Windows98 boot disk or start from the CD, install Windows2000, please select "New Installation".
Third, windows98, windows2000 and windowsxp coexist
If you just let Windows98 / 2000 / XP coexist, you can first install Windows98, then install Windows2000 under Windows98, or install the Windows2000 from the Windows2000 installation CD, and finally load WindowsXP from the Windows 2000 or from the CD-ROM. Generate, very simple.
Fourth, Windows2000 (or WindowsXP) Coexistence with Linux
Let's talk about the problem of Linux partition: If you have divided the hard disk as the primary DOS partition and the logical partitions (that is, D drive and E drive, etc.), and the extension partition is divided into logical partitions, you need to redistribute and Delete a certain partition because the partition types used by Linux and DOS and Windows partition types are different. If your hard drive has no partition, you should leave 1-2GB of space when setting the space to extend the partition, and use it when you install Linux.
Windows2000 and Linux coexisteously install Windows2000, then install Linux, you can achieve multiple boots through the multi-boot feature of Windows2000 or how to configure LILO, the specific method can refer to "Computer Lovers" 2000 22 "" all installed more Systemual article ". 5. Use mstboot to make Windows98, Windows2000, WindowsXP and Red Hat Linux Certain
Multi-system boot management tools can be easier to install multiple systems, such as System Commander2000, Bootstar, Mstboot, and so on. Let's take MSTBOOT as an example to explain how to install these four operating systems on a computer.
The uniqueness of MSTBoot is that it can hide different operating systems so they do not interfere with each other, and it can be installed on a hard disk to install up to 12 operating systems, and you can also choose to install different operating systems in the same partition. Still in different partitions. And this software is also easy to get, with network ant to http://www.mstboot.com/mstboot.zip, you can download it back to the compression package.
Partition
(1) Preparation before partitioning
Before making a hard disk partition, you must prepare a system disk that can drive the computer in A. The system disk should contain the fdisk.exe hard disk partition program file (it will be made with a Windows 98 boot disk); and confident that CMOS settings "boot"; Sequence (starting order) "parameter is" a, c ". Put the startup disk, turn it on, to the screen appear "A: />", which is ready to complete the hard disk partition.
(2) Establish a primary partition and expansion partition
After the disk letter "A: />", enter the DOS command of the partition - -fdisk. When the message appears on the screen asks if you want to enable FAT32 support, answer "y" will establish a FAT32 partition, answer "N", will use FAT16. The author will install Windows98 in the primary partition, so the selected file system can be FAT16 and FAT32. The partition size using FAT16 cannot exceed 2GB, but if you sometimes need to run some DOS tools, you can consider planning the operating system partition into a FAT16 file system (of course, if there is no special intend, it is recommended to use the FAT32 file system).
After setting up capacity for the primary partition, we also need to continue the partitioning, of course, set the extension partition. In general, if you don't install Linux, the remaining hard disk space should be divided into extended partitions. However, we must also install additional three operating systems (Windows2000, WindowsXP, and Red Hat Linux), including Linux, so you need to leave 2GB of space when setting extended partitions.
Key Tip: If you use FAT16 when establishing the primary partition, you need to press the button before establishing the extension partition, first exit the partition operation, then enter FDISK to continue the partition operation. At this time, when the message appears on the screen, ask if you want to enable When FAT32 supports, select "Y". If you have previously set the format of the primary partition is FAT32, you don't need to exit first and then enter.
After setting up the extension partition, the system prompts the user not to establish a logical drive, and the user can set the number of logical discs and the logical disk capacity according to the hard disk capacity and their needs. Here we build three logical dishes, the D disk is 2GB, used to install the Windows2000; the capacity of the E disk is 2GB, used to install WindowsXP; other spaces are left to the F disk, used to perform daily management files. If your hard drive is large enough, you can also be more points more logical partitions (such as G, H, etc.).
Tip: The specific partition process is not explained in detail here. You can refer to "Computer Lovers" 2001 12th "Easy DIY Series (3)".
(3) activate the hard disk main partition
When you build a primary partition and extended partition on your hard disk, you must conduct the primary partition to activate, otherwise the hard disk cannot be booted in the system. On the FDISK main menu, select "2" (SETIVE Partition), at this time, the screen will display all partitions on the main hard disk for users to choose, and only the primary partition "1" and expanded partition "2" on our primary district, of course we Select the primary partition "1" to activate.
Exit the FDISK program, to the screen prompting the user must restart the system, after restarting the system, you can format the established logical disk (FORMAT).
2. Format
The operation of advanced formatting of the hard disk is done using the FORMAT command of the DOS system.
Start the computer with a Windows98 system, type the Format C: / S / U command ("/ s" after the drive letter A: />: Make the formatted C disk into a startup disk, after formatting, you can use C: The disk is directly launched; "/ u": unconditionally formatted the disk, and will not retain any information from the disk, which is usually the first formatting disk, and this parameter can be used to reduce the time required to format the time). Then use the Format D: equal command to format other logical disk.
When it is formatted, the MSTBoot.zip decompressed files (only 1.22MB only) on other machines (only 1.22MB) is copied to the C-drive root directory (you can also copy only the setup.exe).
3. Install Windows 98
This may be more familiar, start the computer with the Windows98 boot disk, select CDM support, then put the Windows 98 installation disk into the CD-ROM, execute the setup command to install Windows 98 on the C drive.
4. Make a MSTBoot boot disk
(1) When the Windows98 installation is complete, press the computer when the computer is restarted, and then the F8 key is selected, select Enter the MSDOS state. Behind the drive letter "C: />", enter setup.exe, then enter the return, the MSTBoot installation welcome the operation interface.
(2) After entering the bus, put a blank floppy disk into the floppy drive (the default is the A drive), make MSTBOOT boot disk, press Enter, and make the boot disk.
3) After the startup disk production is completed, press the Enter key to complete.
5. Start settings with WINDOWS98 with MSTBoot
(1) Start the computer with the production of a good MSTBoot boot disk, after the "A: />" drive letter, enter MSTBOOT, Enter, and the Welcome interface of Mstboot, and then enter.
(2) The window that adds a new system, after the NAME, the current operating system will be displayed: WindWos98 (you can modify you like, such as win98), if you need to add a password between each operating system, Then you can enter your password in "Password".
(3) The current system's system file appears, if there is no need to modify, press Enter to enter the next window.
(4) If your system installation has been completed, you can press the Enter to return to the master interface of MSTBoot. If you want to modify, you can press the "P" button to return to the modification. (5) After the system setting is complete, return to the main interface of MSTBoot, then press the B key button, select the first menu life? Quot; prepare, ready to install the new operating system, enter, then press the X combination key, Exit MSTBoot.
6. Install Windows2000 and WindowsXP
After installation, after Windows 98, we can install Windows2000.
The installation steps of the Windows2000 are similar to the Windows 98 installation steps. You can switch to the drive containing the Windows2000 disc, then enter the / i386 directory, type: "Winnt". When the installation path window appears, change the path to a D disk.
After the installation is complete, start the computer with the production of the MSTBoot boot disk, then repeat the steps to start the settings for Windows 98 with MSTBoot, and set up the Windows 2000 installation. Different places are: When adding new systems, write The new operating system name, such as Win2000.
Next, WindowsXP is installed, the specific installation, the setting method is similar to Windows98, and there is not much to say it here.
7. Install Red Hat Linux
(1) Start the CD or floppy disk to start the computer with Linux, install Linux, set LILO, select the installation to the first partition (/ dev / hda1 first sector of boot part) instead of the MBR.
(2) After the installation is complete, re-use the MSTBOOT to start the software to start the computer, but this running command is a plus parameter MSTBOOT / P.
(3) After the screen, select the menu boot section, select the Linux partition from the partition list (select Size only to 20 partitions, because Linux's boot file is placed inside Boot, the boot partition is only two More than a dozen MB. After entering the bus, enter the name of the "Linux" operating system after NAME, and finally press the prompt to complete the installation.
8.4 operating system installation completed
After the setting is completed, after restarting the computer, you first see the MSTBoot boot screen, which has the name of the four operating systems installed. At this time, you can use the cursor direction keys to choose, you can enter.
Sixth, one breath is installed 8 operating systems - MSDOS6.22, Windows95, Windows98, Windowsme, Windows2000, WindowsNT4.0, WindowsXP and Red Hat Linux
Just now installed four operating systems with MSTBOOT, is it too simple? Let me use MSTBoot to install 8 operating systems with MSTBOOT.
The specific hard disk partition is the same as just now (if you don't want a partition to exist in two operating systems, you only have multiple logical partitions), but everyone should pay attention to MSDOS6.22 and Windows95 can only identify FAT16, so it is recommended Everyone installs MSDOS6.22 and Windows 95 on the C drive.
After formatting, establish two directories in the C drive, DOS622 and Win95, then put the discs containing the two operating systems into the optical drive, and copy them to both directories. The purpose of doing this is that the current market is basically difficult to see with the Windows95 installation floppy disk, usually in the disc. If you start with a Windows98 boot disk, although the drive drive is driven, DOS and Windows 95 are unable to install, only the DOS boot disk start the computer. However, the DOS boot disk does not have a drive drive, so you can copy DOS to the Windows 95 source program file to your hard drive, if you don't copy it to your hard drive, load the drive drive drive. Tip: If DOS6.22 is not installed, it is simple. When Windows95 is installed, there is a lap fan, which is issued with Windows95, so you can also use this boot disk to launch your computer, then load the drive driver, perform Windows95 installation; if there is no Windows95 boot disk, you can also start with DOS6.22 The disk starts the machine, then executes SYS C:, then loads the drive drive and installs.
If Windows95 is not installed, it is easier to install Windows95 OSR2. Because Windows95 OSR2 can be installed directly after starting the floppy disk of Windows98.
Next start installing DOS6.22. Start your computer with DOS6.22 boot floppy disk, run the setup.exe in the DOS622 directory in the C drive, plus the parameters "/ g" (plus this parameter, let the computer ignore the floppy disk installation, otherwise the computational opportunity prompt to put in the first Two floppy disks, because our installer is copied from the disc to the hard drive, it is basically not a floppy disk installation, which is simple to install DOS6.22.
It is estimated that there are very few friends who have a DOS6.22 boot floppy disk. From a technical point, you can find DOS6.22 image file DOS.IMG from the Internet, and then read this file with HDCopy, and write in a clean floppy disk, which is born in the DOS6.22 boot floppy disk.
After the installation is complete, we can make a MSTBoot boot disk according to the above method, start setting, then install, set up, set Windows95, Windows98, WindowsMe, Windows2000, WindowsNT4.0, WindowsXP, and Red Hat Linux. Look at the MSTBoot launch menu after the 8 operating system is installed, is it cool! !
Seven, several common problems about MSTBOOT
1. How to uninstall MSTBOOT?
(1) Start the computer with the startup floppy disk generated by MSTBoot, and run Mstboot.exe, wait until a window appears, select
Select the function menu option boot section-> Uninstallation (Alt B, U).
(2) In Selection Fields, select the operating system you want to use after uninstalling MSTBoot.
(3) Finally close MSTBOOT (Alt X).
2. Do you have MSTBoot to install the operating system to the rest of the partition?
Of course, the front of WindowsNT, Windows2000, WindowsXP and Linux are installed in other partitions, which is changed to D: or E:, etc. when selecting the installation directory.
