Detailed Explanation of Windows System Installation Parameters
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation of the Windows system is a simple but lengthy process. Fortunately, it provides an automatic installation function. Win98 and WinME can create script files (.INF), while Win2000 can use an answer file. However, the establishment of these files requires special tools or manual modification, which is quite troublesome after all. Sometimes we just need to make the installation process simpler and easier. What should we do?
Under normal circumstances, for the installation of the Windows system, we just run it directly and follow the prompts to complete the installation. Little do we know that there are many parameters that can be added after the installation program. By flexibly using them, the installation speed can be accelerated. The following introduces the important parameters in the installations of Win98, WinME, and Win2000.
Win98
The installation program of Win98 is setup, and this file is under \win98 on the installation disk. Its installation parameters can be obtained by running setup /?, and note that there must be a space, otherwise, it will not display the parameters but directly start the installation.
/t: d: \tempd Win98 will generate some temporary files during the installation process, and this parameter can be used to specify the storage path of these temporary files. Please store the temporary directory on the installation disk. The advantage of doing this is not only to speed up the installation speed but also to greatly reduce file fragmentation, and there is no need to defragment the disk after installation.
/is Install without scanning the hard disk. If you are installing on a hard disk with data, it is recommended not to use this parameter, so that the hard disk can be scanned for errors.
/ie Do not create an emergency floppy disk, which can save a floppy disk.
/iv Do not display the introduction during the Win98 installation process, which can save installation time.
/im Skip the memory check, which can only be used when you are sure that your memory is fine. Do not use this parameter for a new machine, otherwise, Win98 will often have problems.
WinME
In the win9x directory on the WinME installation disk, the installation file setup is stored. Similarly, you can use setup /? to view its installation parameters, and also need to pay attention to the space.
/C Do not load the SmartDrive disk cache, still do not use this parameter, so that the installation speed will be faster.
/d Do not recognize the previous version of Windows installed on the computer. If used, the installation program will automatically clear the disk content and only install WinME. Be careful when using this parameter for an upgrade installation.
/ie Do not create an emergency startup disk.
/ih Skip the registry check during the installation process.
/il Use the Logitech mouse driver instead of the default Microsoft mouse driver. If you use a Logitech mouse and find that it works abnormally during the installation process, then try this parameter
/im Make the installation program skip the memory check.
/in Do not install network software. If your computer needs to access the Internet, then do not use this parameter.
/iq Skip the check of cross-connected files when scanning the hard disk.
/is Make the installation program not scan the hard disk.
/iv Do not display the introduction screen during installation.
/IW Make the installation program skip the license agreement.
/nm Allow you to install WinME on a computer with a configuration lower than Microsoft's requirements. Microsoft's minimum CPU requirement for ME is Pentium 150.
/nostart Let the installation program only copy files without performing the installation, so that you can perform the installation later.
/NTLDR Allows you to continue the installation when an error occurs. This function should be used with caution.
/Pf If the previous installation is canceled and the registry is damaged, let the installation program rebuild a new registry
/T: Allows you to specify a directory to place its temporary files
Allows you to specify the name of the script file for automatic installation. The automatic installation program of WinMe can use the one in the Win 98 resource pack.
Win2000
The installation file of Win2000 is different from that of Win98 and WinME. It is the winnt file in the I386 directory on its installation disk. The command to obtain its installation parameters is winnt/?, and here no space is needed.
/s Specify the location of the Windows 2000 source files. To copy files from multiple servers at the same time, specify multiple /s sources. If multiple /s switch options are used, the first server specified must be available, otherwise, the installation will fail.
/t Instruct the installation program to indicate the specified drive where temporary files are stored and install Windows 2000 on this drive.
/unattend: Perform a clean installation in the unattended installation mode. The answer file provides some specifications that you customize for the installation program. Num is the number of seconds between the end of the installation program copying these files and restarting the computer.
/udf:id Mark an identifier (id) that the installation program uses to specify how the unique database file (UDF) modifies the answer file. UDF will override some values in the answer file, and the identifier will determine which values in UDF are used. If UDF_file is not specified, the installation program will prompt the user to insert a disk containing the $Unique$.udb file.
/r
/rx Create a temporary additional folder in the folder where the Windows 2000 files are installed. The folder created with /rx is deleted after the installation is completed.
/e Instruct the installation program to run a command before performing the final stage of installation. This command will appear when the computer has been restarted twice and the installation program has collected the necessary configuration information, but the installation has not been completed yet.
After reading the above parameter introduction, I believe you have a new understanding of the installation of the Windows system. Be careful with the hardware parameters involved. Spending more time during installation will result in a stable system. It is suggested that you can use parameters for the installations of Win98 and WinME. The installation parameters of 2000 are more complicated, and some parameters may be unclear. If so, it is suggested that you still follow the old method step by step.
