Method for automatically installing operating system

Abstract

The invention provides a method for automatically installing operating system, for installing operating system on BIOS / EFI interface of a computer, comprising the steps of: generating operating system automatic response file; starting BIOS / EFI virtual FD function to generate virtual FD; copying the operating system response file into the virtual FD; and inserting operating system installation media into the computer and according to the operating system installation media and the operating system automatic response file, making automatic installing of the operating system, thus making a computer thoroughly discarding the physical FD, reducing the cost and improving file read-write reliability, and implementing simpler and more reliable operating system automatic installation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for installing an operating system, in particular to a method for automatically installing an operating system. Background technique [0002] Installing an operating system is a very complicated matter for ordinary users. To install an operating system correctly, you need to know a lot of professional knowledge, such as: how to partition the system, how to select the type of system files, how to format the hard disk, how to set network configuration parameters, and so on. Especially when installing the operating system of the server, in addition to installing the installation program of the operating system, many related drivers and various patches need to be installed, which is also a complicated and wasteful task for professionals. time thing. In addition, usually when installing the operating system, the user needs to stay by the computer during the entire installation process to input various parameters that need...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Although this solution can also automate the installation of the operating system, it requires a specific operating system navigation CD

There are many disadvantages in using CD media: during installation and use, the user needs to be prompted to replace the CD of the operating system. If the operation is not done properly, the installation of the operating system will easily fail; With the upgrade of the model, the driver of the device also needs to be upgraded, and the manufacturer needs to update the content of the CD frequently, which will increase the production cost of the manufacturer and the complexity of version maintenance; in addition, for server devices, users often use various devices from third-party manufacturers Cards, such as RAID cards, network cards, etc., if CD media is used, these device programs cannot be replaced, which will bring great difficulties to the installation of the operating system

[0009] Although this solution is simple to implement, because the partition of the hard disk is easily identified as an unknown type of partition under the operating system, the user may mistake it for a surplus space and delete it. Therefore, it is safer to install the operating system using this solution. Poor; moreover, if the partition of the hard disk is set as a hidden partition in order to improve security, however, only special types of hard disks have the feature of hidden partitions, so this method has special requirements for the type of hard disk and is not universal ;In addition, due to the high frequency of hard disk use, it is usually easy to be damaged. After the old hard disk is damaged, the relevant files and drivers saved on the old hard disk will be lost. Even if a new hard disk is replaced, because the new hard disk is blank, so Unable to perform automatic installation of operating system on new hard disk

[0010] In the process of installing the operating system using the above-mentioned solutions, it may be necessary to use a floppy drive. For example, during the installation of Windows, when detecting a large-capacity storage device, it is still necessary to read a new driver from the floppy drive. Therefore, the above three The installation methods of the above schemes cannot cancel the existence of the floppy drive, and the cost is relatively high
