For a long time, installing operating system and application software is a thankless thing. Although the computer speed is getting faster and faster now, and the installation steps of the operating system are very simple, we can only wait for the system to be completed step by step, and then install the application software after the system is installed, and set the network access rights. A complete system takes almost a day, and it doesn't matter if it is installed occasionally. If there are many computers, or helping others install computers, it is definitely not possible. !

Although Windows system has unattended installation program, it won't save much time at all. After the system is installed, you still need to install applications and set network permissions. It will take a lot of time! And during the installation, most people just sit there and wait!

As we all know, in order to install the machine conveniently and save time, most people will use GHOST (clone) software to make a backup of their operating system. (Although the backed-up files take up more space, the space of 1-2G is not a problem for today's large-capacity hard disks! ) When the system crashes or other problems fail to start, using GHOST can restore your operating system and applications within 5 minutes, which is enough to save you a whole day! But these are local backups, so everyone is thinking, can you make one?

Universal cloning (universal ghost)

It can also be quickly restored on other people's computers, which can not only save time, but also complete some work that was impossible before. In fact, we only need to solve the hardware driver and XP system activation problem!

Cut the gossip and let's start solving the problem. The 2000 system does not need to be activated, but both XP and 2003 need to be activated! !

One. Windows XP system activation:

We poor scholars, of course, have no money to buy the original (to be honest, I don't buy the original if I have money, because I am proud of piracy, unless Bill Gates is from China). Windows 2000 system does not need to be activated, while Windows XP system needs to be activated. In order to solve the activation problem, we use the cracked version of XP. There are two best online versions now, one is the activated version of Russian cracked mobile phone. Activation requires 401111,which is a bit troublesome. We do not recommend it. The second activation-free version is the Shanghai VIP government version. We don't care whether it's the government version or the cracked version. There is no problem in upgrading this version, and it has been activated automatically. Recommended! ! Now Windows 2003 uses the activation-free VOL version, which is very easy to use! ! Please skip this paragraph. )

Two. Installation optimization of XP system

First, install XP system on disk C, and install commonly used software on system disk (c:\program file\ directory, such as OFFICE2003, media player, compression software, etc. ).

(Be sure to install XP with drive C, and you can't install XP to other partitions unless you are the ghost of the whole hard disk. )

At this time, we will find that the installed system disk has nearly 1.5G space even if there is no application. At this time, even if GHOST is the largest clone compression, an XP system is 755M in size, and a CD can't be engraved, which is not practical! Because after the XP system is installed, there are many things in the system that we don't need at all. In order to save space and facilitate combustion, we have to optimize it.

Of course, if you bring a hard disk every time you install a system for others, there is no need to optimize files to save space-I recommend that you use a hard disk for lettering.

)。 When optimizing, we mainly delete some backup files and description files.

Turn off the sleep function of power management first! Right-click Desktop-Properties-Screen Saver-Power-Advanced. draw

At this time, the page file hiberfil.sys in the root directory of drive C will be automatically deleted, and the size is your memory capacity. If you have 1G of memory, then the file size is 1G!

Then turn off the system restore and automatic online update functions, and click My Computer-Properties-System Restore and Automatic Update. As shown in the figure,

Automatic updates don't really need to be removed, but in order not to let Microsoft find you, it's better to remove them. )

Then delete the standby dynamic link library (dll file). With the SFC command, you can delete files in the directory c:\windows\system\dellcache to free up space. The command to delete all files is sfc.exe/purgecache(sfc.exe/? Check the meaning of command parameters), or delete it manually! About 300MB.

At this point, XP lost weight.

(

Tip: Losing weight is just for the convenience of GHSOT's CD burning. Users who generally use disk cloning do not need to lose weight, and pay special attention to losing weight after all applications are installed. )

3. Delete the original driver of XP system and clone it!

There are two methods for universal cloning, one is direct cloning by deleting the driver, and the other is complete repackaging!

At present, several versions of XP universal cloning circulating on the Internet have deleted the driver and cloned directly! , and completely repackage, is to delete the driving weight, and then repackage! (Microsoft officially uses a complete repackaging method)

We will take action step by step!

Open Device Manager (click My Computer-Properties-Hardware-Device Manager), as shown below: (The hardware of each computer is different, and the displayed content is different. My motherboard is Inter 8 10).

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

First, unload the driver inside and change it:

Note that there is a sequence! !

Unload first

Network adapter, universal serial bus controller, voice, electronic game controller, display, display card,

Right-click when uninstalling, and click Uninstall. The system prompts to restart, press No to not start! ! (The purpose of uninstalling the graphics card is to prevent the blue screen phenomenon that may occur when GHOST is transferred to another machine. )

Next, change the advanced configuration power interface (ACPI) property of the computer to a standard PC.

Right-click the Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) and click Update Driver, and the update wizard will pop up. Click Install (Advanced) from the list or the specified location without searching. I want to choose my own program installation and switch to a standard PC. After clicking OK, the computer will also prompt to restart. Press no, don't start! (as shown in the figure below)

(Hint: Now most computers are generally Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI): (Advanced Power Management), so this step can actually be omitted!

The reason for the change is: if it is not changed here, if the new machine is not of the same type as ACPI (for example, the new motherboard is displayed as acpi uniprocessor pc! There are no other problems on your newly cloned plane, that is,

The soft shutdown of the computer cannot be realized.

!

So when GHOST arrives at the new machine, just change the standard PC back to your corresponding power management mode, which is also the explanation that XP Universal GHSOT circulating on the Internet will remind you to do this step. "

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Finally,

Be sure to replace the IDE ATA/ATAPI controller.

This step is the main step of XP system universal GHOST! ! If you don't do this step, GHOST can't start on other machines at all, and the computer will keep restarting! ! So in order to adapt to all kinds of motherboards now, (such as Inter motherboard, VIA motherboard, SIS motherboard) must be

Change your local IDE controller to a standard dual-channel PCI IDE controller!

(as shown in the figure below)

Point (

This machine is the main IDE controller of Intel (R) 8280 1AA bus-every motherboard is different.

Right click and click Update Driver, and the update wizard will pop up. Click Install (Advanced) from the list or the specified location. Do not search. I want to choose the program I installed and change it to.

Standard dual-channel PCI IDE controller

After clicking OK, the computer will also prompt to restart. Turn it off directly after this time is determined! !

(

Note that at this point, the deletion of the driver has been completed. At this time, if you want to clone, you can connect the hard disk to another computer after the computer is turned off, or open the local computer with a CD, and then GHSOT the contents of disk C to other partitions! ! )

Now several universal clones of 2000 and XP circulating on the Internet generally do this! !

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

However, it is also obvious that although XP supports almost all hardware at present! Although XP system will install the driver itself according to the hardware of another computer after booting, it feels a bit reluctant to do so! ! Some drivers left on the first mother machine may also be forced to work, so the system is unstable, or blue screen of death phenomenon appears: (! !

In order to be more stable and standardized, let the system install its own computer hardware drivers! At this time, we thought of Sysprep.exe, a system repackaging tool in Microsoft Enterprise Deployment Toolkit.

We just want the system to completely reinstall the required driver on the newly cloned computer, instead of using the driver of the mother machine locally)

To put it bluntly, the installation process of a computer system is the process of letting the computer find and use the current hardware driver. )

4. Create an automatic answer file and repackage the system!

The system repackaging tool has been included in the Windows xp installation CD! This location is where the CD is installed.

(X:\SUPPORT\TOOLS\DEPLOY。 Cab)

Documents,

Next, we began to use this tool step by step; We first suggest putting a folder named Sysprep in the root directory of C: drive, and then

Files to be deployed. CAB compressed package is extracted to c:\sysprep with Winrar.

draw

In fact, we only use third gear, and it doesn't matter if we have a few more gears! ! Because the system will automatically delete this directory and files under it after the first startup, so we don't have to worry!

1. Create the system automatic answer file!

I think it's no stranger to comrades who have played without installing a system! ! But a novice may ask, "Why did you create this file!" " In fact, whether the computer system is installed in factory mode or repackaged, users will be required to input some necessary contents, such as user name, computer name, installation serial number and so on. But there is a serious problem.

It is in the GHOST clone installation of the new machine that when we need to input this information, the system has not found the driver of the keyboard and mouse, and the keyboard and mouse are suspended animation. At this point, the system must be installed automatically. Otherwise, the installation will definitely not succeed! !

Click the file C:\sysprep\setupmgr.exe,

Click Next! As a picture, of course, it is a new file!

Click Next: The following screen shows that we chose Sysprep for installation.

Click Next. According to different systems, we are XP Professional Edition. Choose the second one! Of course, if you want to be a Windows 2003 system, here is your choice. )

Click next, you must choose automatic installation here, or you will suffer!

Click Next to enter the installation management interface! ! You can see at a glance that these contents are what we need to fill in when installing XP. The advantage of automatic installation is that we input it first, and we don't need to input it when installing! !

Here we only need to enter a few necessary items, and the rest can be directly pressed next!

The product key is of course needed!

You also need a computer name, otherwise the automatically generated names are usually ugly!

The administrator password can be left blank (of course, it is best not to, and others will change it when necessary).

Language You must select Simplified Chinese here.

You don't need to enter anything else, and you don't need to choose anything. The next step will be fine.

Finally, come to this screen and click OK!

Click OK, and the automatically installed answer file is created successfully.

(In addition, the file name of this file must be sysprep.inf, and the directory must be in the c:\sysprep directory. )

As shown in the figure below:

Special note: Don't put anything else in this directory of C:\ sysprep, because this folder will automatically delete this folder and everything in this folder after the system starts the answer installation for the first time.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2. System repackaging

At this point, all our preparations have been completed!

What we need to do now is the last step, system packaging, and click.

C:\sysprep\sysprep.exe, the following screen will appear:

Click OK to open the following screen! !

We seldom use the first button (factory) and the second button (audit). What we need is repackaging! !

Among the options, there are still 4 options! !

Among them, the first item (grace period for not resetting activation) and the third item (not regenerating security identifier) are specifically aimed at systems above XP, that is, genuine user activation. The system we suggest to use is the Shanghai government version or the Russian telephone activation cracked version, so it doesn't matter whether these two items are actually selected or not, and it has no influence on the use of GHOST cloning system!

The second item (using minimum installation) is not only called PNP installation, but also seems to be called residue-free driver installation, which is exactly what we need, so this item must be selected.

In the fourth item (detecting non-plug-and-play hardware), this option is not needed, because even if there is antique hardware without plug-and-play, it is not too late for us to install the driver after the system is installed! !

After such a long time of preparation, we can finally repackage the system! Click the repackage button. After about half a minute, the computer will start to shut down automatically.

After shutdown, the XP system in your C drive is a completely repackaged Windows XP "parent system disk" (God, I invented the word "parent system disk" too, and I am a genius). At this time, the computer must not be restarted. You can use the Tools CD to start it, or after removing the hard disk, connect it to another computer and use the latest computer.

This GHO document is

Universal cloning of Windows XP

.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) frequently asked questions and its scope of application.

1. If you install the system by repackaging, you don't need to change the (ACPI) property of the computer to a standard PC, which is not good. You need to change it back after cloning, because repackaging will automatically detect the hardware driver! !

2. You must create the system automatic answer file, because after the system is repackaged, you can restart to the interface of inputting the computer name and installation serial number on the new machine, but the keyboard and mouse of the computer have not reflected yet, so you can't input anything at all! !

3. Create the system automatic answer file at any time, or edit it yourself, but there are several steps that must not be mistaken, that is, you can't restart the computer after uninstalling and changing the hardware driver, that is, you have to uninstall the driver and repackage it in one go.

4. Someone asked, can you do universal cloning with D disk! The answer is difficult, because most computers have to be started through disk C, and they have to be repaired after being installed on disk D, so it is best to reinstall them quickly after getting them around!

In 2000, I suggested that general personal user systems use FAT32 format, because Windows2000 just appeared at that time. However, since the appearance of Windows PE and various super boot CDs, it is totally unnecessary to use FAT32 file format and directly use NTFS file format, because the security and performance of NTFS files completely exceed FAT32 and FAT formats! And the new version of GHOST8.0 directly supports Windows operation and NTFS format support.

5. With regard to CD burning, the size of XP system after installation exceeds 1.5G, and the size after GHOST is 755M, which has exceeded the capacity of ordinary optical drive of 700M. Therefore, it is suggested to use the hard disk GHOST directly, and of course, you can also make room for burning CDs through optimization and XP slimming. Generally, the help file in the directory c:\windows\help\ is deleted, and deleting the file C:Windows\system\dellcache can free up about 300M of space. According to the test, only the following software can be installed: (

1.ACDSee 2.4 1 image browsing software

2.HyperSnap-DX image capture software

3.IsoBuster Pro 1.5 CD reading software

4. Network transmission download tool

5.FlashGet flashget download tool

6.RealOne Player Plus online movie playing tool

7. Norton antivirus 8. 1 antivirus software

8.UltraISO 6.5 1 CD file making software

9.WinImage v6. 1 Various mirror image making software.

10.WinRAR 3.3 compression software

1 1. Tencent QQ chat software

12.kingplayer 2003 official version, media playing software.

13. Final Data 2.0- the strongest data recovery software.

14.flashfxp2.1build923 upload the software.

15.MyIE2 0.8.2070 Web browsing software

16.Winamp 5.0 1 MP3 player software

17. Microsoft Power Point 2000 Office Software

18. Microsoft Excel 2000 office software

19. Microsoft Word 2000 Office Software

Because the CD capacity is limited, only these can be installed. Of course, you can install your favorite software. (The capacity of the hard disk GHOST is not limited, so it is recommended to use the hard disk GHOST, but it is a bit troublesome to bring the hard disk when installing the system for others. ),

Scope of application:

1. The general GHOST made by this method should be able to adapt to almost all computers at present, including Inter motherboards, VIA motherboards, SIS motherboards and so on.

(Others such as dual CPU, SISC hard disk, dedicated motherboard, etc. Will be temporarily and unconditionally tested. )

This method can also be used to update remote systems, such as remote servers in Taiwan Province Province and other places, and upload GHOST files to restore to a brand-new system!

The universal clone of 2.2. Windows 98, it is recommended to delete all kinds of drivers and directly replace the IDE ATA/ATAPI controller without other settings, and as we all know, 98 is extremely unstable and can run 2000 or XP. It is recommended to install 2000 or XP! !

3.Windows 2000 Professional Edition and Server Edition can be cloned without activation, which is more convenient than XP and the operation steps are similar! ! !

4. At present, Windows 2003 servers on the Internet are basically activation-free versions of VOL, and the operation steps are the same as XP, except that there are several options when creating self-response files, such as how many users are authorized. Moreover, when repackaging in 2003, the PNP option (using minimum installation) was grayed out, that is, mandatory selection, which is actually what we hope! ! The CDs of 2000, XP and 2003 all have their own repackaging tools, which are not universal. Everything else is basically the same!

The purpose of this is to install the system faster ~ ~ ~
