2-48 Chapter 2 Installing Windows XP Professional To Install a Service Pack Service pack setup programs can have various names, though most Windows Service Packs use a program named Update.exe. Regardless of the file name, though, most Windows updates support the same command-line parameters, which control how the service pack deploys. Table 2-7 lists these parameters. Service pack installations require a significant amount of disk space (hundreds of megabytes). The uninstall folder consumes the majority of this disk space. You can install a service pack without saving uninstall files by using the /n switch when install- ing the service pack. You must choose an installation method from the following options: Update installation The service pack executable is started locally, across the net- work, or through Windows Update. The service pack is installed on the existing operating system. Integrated installation Also called slipstreaming, an integrated installation is one in which the service pack is applied to the installation files on a distribution server using the /s switch, integrating the installation files and the service pack into a sin- gle set of updated installation files. New installations that included the service pack can then be performed from the integrated distribution point. This eliminates the need to apply the service pack after the installation. However, the service pack cannot be uninstalled if it is applied in this fashion. Combination installation This involves installation using a combination of an inte- grated installation, an answer file to control the installation process, and a Cmd- lines.txt file to launch additional application setup programs after the operating system setup has completed. Table 2-7 Common Command-Line Parameters for Windows Updates Switch Function /f Forces all applications to close prior to restarting the system. /n Does not back up uninstall files. You cannot uninstall the service pack if this switch is used. /o Overwrites OEM-provided files without prompting the user. /q Installation runs in quiet mode with no user interaction required (requires /o to update OEM-supplied files). /s:[path to distribution folder] Creates an integration installation point. /u Unattended installation (requires /o to update OEM-supplied files). /x Extracts files without starting Setup. This is useful if you want to move installation files to another location. /z Disables automatic restart when installation is finished. 2-49 When you install new operating system components after a service pack has been installed, Setup requires both the operating system and service pack installation files. This allows Setup to install the updated version of the component. To Uninstal a Service Pack By default, the service pack setup program automatically creates a backup of the files and settings that are changed during the service pack installation and places them in an unin- stall folder named \$NTServicepackUninstall$\ in %systemroot%. You can uninstall the service pack through Add/Remove Programs on Control Panel or from a command line by running Spuninst.exe from the %systemroot%\$NTServicepackUninstall\Spuninst\ folder. Note If you installed a service pack without creating a backup, you cannot uninstall the ser- vice pack.

Scenario 2.1 You have been given a computer running Windows 98 Second Edition with the follow- ing hardware installed: ■ 200 MHz Pentium II processor ■ 32 MB of RAM ■ 4 GB hard disk, 500 MB free ■ 24x CD-ROM drive 2-51 ■ Floppy drive, mouse, keyboard ■ SVGA monitor and video card ■ 10 Mbps Ethernet network card You will reformat the hard disk, create one partition that uses the entire hard disk, and install Windows XP Professional. Question What additional hardware do you need to install onto the computer prior to installing Windows XP? Scenario 2.2 One of your users wants you to install Windows XP Professional on his workstation. Currently, the workstation is running Windows 98. The user wants to continue hav- ing Windows 98 running on the computer because he often must test the software he develops on that system. The user’s computer is configured with the following hardware: ■ 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processor ■ 512 MB of RAM ■ 60 GB hard disk There are currently 2 partitions on the hard disk: a 20 GB partition on which Win- dows 98 and the user’s current applications are installed and a 15 GB partition on which the user stores his documents. Both partitions are formatted using the FAT32 file system. There is 25 GB of unpartitioned space. ■ 24x CD-ROM drive ■ Floppy drive, mouse, keyboard ■ SVGA monitor and video card ■ 10 Mbps Ethernet network card Case Scenario Exercises 2-52 Chapter 2 Installing Windows XP Professional Question How should you configure this computer to run both Windows 98 and Windows XP Professional? Troubleshooting Lab Read the following troubleshooting scenario and then answer the question that fol- lows. You can use this lab to help determine whether you have learned enough to move on to the next chapter. If you have difficulty completing this work, review the material in this chapter before beginning the next chapter. You can find the answer to this question in the “Questions and Answers” section at the end of this chapter. Scenario One of your users is attempting to upgrade to Windows XP Professional on a computer that has been running Windows 98. Her computer has one hard disk that is configured with a single partition. She has already backed up her computer and plans to reformat the partition, and then perform a clean installation of Windows XP Professional. She has configured her BIOS to start the computer from CD-ROM. When she starts the com- puter, the text mode stage of Windows XP Professional Setup begins as expected. However, when the user tries to reformat the partition, her computer presents an error message stating that a virus is attempting to infect the boot sector of her hard disk. She is certain that she is using a genuine Windows XP Professional installation CD. Question What do you suspect is the problem? 2-53 Chapter Summary ■ Before installing Windows XP Professional, you should first ensure that your hard- ware meets the minimum hardware requirements and that your hardware is in the Windows Catalog. Additional preinstallation tasks include determining how to partition the hard disk on which you will install Windows XP Professional and deciding whether to format the partition as NTFS, FAT, or FAT32. ■ Your computer can join a domain or a workgroup during or after installation. ■ When you install Windows XP Professional, the main difference between an over- the-network installation and an installation from CD-ROM is the location of the source files. ■ After you connect to the shared folder containing the source files and start Winnt.exe or Winnt32.exe, the installation proceeds as an installation from CD- ROM. Several switches for Winnt.exe and Winnt32.exe allow you to modify the installation process. The /checkupgradeonly switch specifies that Winnt32.exe should check your computer only for upgrade compatibility with Windows XP Professional. ■ Before you upgrade a client computer to Windows XP Professional, use the Win- dows XP Professional Compatibility tool to generate a hardware and software compatibility report. For client systems that test as compatible with Windows XP Professional, run the Windows XP Professional Setup program (Winnt32.exe) to complete the upgrade. ■ The Setupact.log action log records and describes in chronological order the actions that Setup performs. The Setuperr.log error log describes errors that occur during Setup and indicates the severity of each error. ■ You can use the Windows Update site to scan a computer and display available critical, Windows, and driver updates. Automatic Updates is a Windows XP feature that downloads and installs critical updates automatically. Although you can spec- ify that Automatic Updates prompt users before downloading or installing, Microsoft recommends that you configure it to download and install automatically according to a preset schedule. Service packs are collections of updates (and sometimes new features) that have been tested to ensure that they work together correctly. Microsoft issues new service packs for its products occasionally. Exam Highlights Before taking the exam, review the key points and terms that are presented in this chapter.
