How to install an Operating System on a Computer

As far as I remember, I have not had difficulties installing my very first

Operating System about nine years ago. It was Microsoft Corporation's

Windows 95. Being precise this process was more like software upgrade,

than installation of new Operating System, because I had just overwritten

previous version of OS, I had installed on my computer.

First step is to prepare the system for installation of new Operating

System. Simply, while starting computer press "DELETE" key on the

keyboard, so BIOS, software installed on motherboard, will run. Go to

"BOOT OPTIONS", then point to "FIRST BOOT DEVICE" and press

"ENTER", select FDD (Floppy Disk Drive) as a first boot device. Save

changes, then restart computer. After that insert floppy diskette with MS-

DOS operating system to FDD. Computer will run from FDD, then two

sentences will appear on the screen, asking whether you want to load

system with CD-ROM support or not. Choose first line, then press

''ENTER'' key. Loading system will take about a minute. When it is loaded

type "format_c:", then press "ENTER". System will give a warning: "All data

on drive C will be lost, proceed? (Y)es or (N)o". Press "Y" letter on

keyboard and press "ENTER". Formatting will be completed in couple

minutes. Later system will ask to put in "Label" to HDD. Insert up to eleven

characters and press "ENTER". System is ready for Operating System

installation.

Second step is running Operating System Installation Disk from CD-

ROM drive. Type "d:setup.exe", installer will run shortly. Program will also

load mouse pointer, so navigation will be much easier. Installers of modern

Operating Systems are very simplified, so you should have no problems

putting them in. Insert product key, and simply choose options and pick

programs Operating System offers. Later you will be asked to set date and

time, so adjust them and the rest will be done by installer. Seat back and

enjoy, installer
