in computer technology user interaction with applications and hardware components provided by the operating system (OS).Previously, to run programs only needed a special interpreter - a small file, which converts the command of programming languages in computer code.Now this task is entrusted to the operating system.The installation of the operating system is vital for the entire computer.In today's article we will examine some of the main aspects related to this process.
Installing the operating system starts with the choice of operating system.Currently, the market is divided between three operating systems: Vindovs from Microsoft, and Linux system from Apple.We present them in order of popularity.Assume that the user has selected Vindovs version 7 or 8. In the case of newly acquired computer hard drive that no valuable information is not present, all is simple - reinstall the system does not require training.Otherwise, you may need to download a pre-prepared by the LiveCD and disk storage on any media to important data.
Overall, the operating system installation simple.You will need a CD with installation OS distribution or a specially prepared USB flash drive with the system.While the more popular discs.To start loading from the disc on a computer you need to specify a boot device.If after a few seconds after turning on the computer at the bottom of the screen is visible tip device selection (for example, F12 - boot device), the installation of the operating system is simplified.Turn on the computer, insert the disc and quickly press F12 (it may be F8 or F9 - Carefully read the tips).The list shall drive or flash drive.It starts with the loading of the vehicle.If you missed when you press, you can use the Reset button on the system unit.Then follow the installation prompts.
In some cases, to select a boot device, you must enter the BIOS and make configuration changes.That is, if the above tips not, immediately after the often press the button Del (Delete) - BIOS settings appear.Here you need to find the item, which indicates the boot device, and specify the CD (do not forget to save your changes when you exit).
first dialog box - is the choice of language.All intuitive.Further recovery mode can be selected or set.Recovery is necessary in the event that your hard drive is already running, but for some reason it will not load or damaged some of its files.Launched Master will evaluate the condition and try to restore the system to a usable state.Choose a full install.
next dialog requires the user to choose the partition (disk) where you are installing the OS.By clicking on "Settings", you can reformat partitions, delete it and create again - provided the most basic function of partitioning.Please note that formatting will erase all data.It is not mandatory.
Then begins the process of copying files to the hard disk.This process can take up to an hour, depending on the hardware configuration.After the first reboot you need to go into the BIOS and enter the first boot device hard drive (this is necessary if this way exhibited the drive).
operating system to boot up and continue the installation.The user needs to enter a name, create a password (you can leave it blank), enter a key block numbers, if any.With updates everyone decides individually: licensing system for the rapid renewal should be unlimited Internet use.For slow connections as needed "to postpone the decision" because the injected volume information from the network can be very impressive.
Will select the time zone and begin setting up the operating system.Installing the OS - it is only a small part of the time spent.
