Problems solved by technology

[0003] There are many installation methods for the computer operating system (Operating System), such as installation from a CD-ROM drive, installation from a hard disk, etc. For users, choose the installation method that suits you, and then enter the BIOS setup menu to perform "fool After ensuring that the computer on which the operating system is to be installed has a CD-ROM drive, the user can choose to install the operating system from the CD-ROM drive. There are two types of installations that can be burned on a CD-ROM, namely Windows system and Linux system. In general, The disc manufacturer will mark the installation type of the disc on the appearance of the disc when leaving the factory. However, when the installation disc has been placed in the disc drive of the computer to be installed with the operating system, most of the disc drives currently only display The name of the manufacturer of the CD that the CD-ROM drive runs, which brings some inconvenience to users who choose to install the operating system from the CD-ROM drive. Users often need to eject the CD-ROM drive and check the logo on the installation CD-ROM to know the installation type of the hard disk. Or, when the CD is worn out during use, and the installation type indicated by the manufacturer on the CD cannot be seen clearly, the user needs to put the CD into the CD drive and turn on the computer to know the installation type, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] In the method for displaying the installation type of the optical disc of the present invention, when the operating system is installed from the optical drive on the computer, the BIOS discriminates and reads the optical disc drive during the process of executing the Power On Self Test (POST) function. The installation type of the running CD is intuitively displayed in the BIOS setting menu, which is convenient for the user to confirm and select, so as to avoid installing the wrong operating system, please refer to figure 1 , is a flowchart of a method for installing an operating system in the present invention, as shown in the figure, the method includes the following steps:

[0020] Step 11: Boot up and prepare to install the operating system;

[0021] Step 12: BIOS scans the peripheral devices of the computer to determine whether there is an optical drive on the computer, if so, go to step 13, if not, then go to step 19;

[0022] Step 13: BIOS judges whether there i...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for displaying the installation type of a compact disc. The method is used for installing an operating system through a CD driver on a computer. The method comprises the following steps: a BIOS scans peripheral devices of the computer in a starting state, and confirms that the CD driver is arranged on the computer; whether a compact disc exists in the CD driver or not can be judged; if so, the BIOS performs data reading of the compact disc; a type character string for describing the compact disc is obtained; and the type character string is displayed in a BIOS setting menu. The installation type of the compact disc is configured according to the type character string; therefore, the installation type can be conveniently determined and selected by users; the problem that a wrong operating system is installed can be avoided; and the time of users can be saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for installing an operating system in a computer, in particular to a method for displaying the installation type of a CD in a BIOS setup menu. Background technique [0002] BIOS (Basic Input Output System) technology has always been the most closely related to the hardware in the computer software system. During the PC startup process, the BIOS is responsible for initializing the hardware, detecting hardware functions, and booting the operating system. It can be seen that BIOS is very important system software for computer systems, and computers without BIOS cannot run. [0003] There are many installation methods for the computer operating system (Operating System), such as installation from a CD-ROM drive, installation from a hard disk, etc. For users, choose the installation method that suits you, and then enter the BIOS setup menu to perform "fool After ensuring that the computer on which the operating system is t...
