Vultr VPS host custom installation process of English Windows XP system with XP system ISO attached

The day before yesterday, Snail saw that Vultr was officially revamped like everyone else. Generally speaking, the functional experience and interface are quite good. Although the color is a bit dazzling, you will slowly get used to it. Although the speed of the Vultr Japanese computer room has not been as good as earlier in the recent period, and the speed of the US is winding, if you see some netizens mentioning that Seattle is worse than the Los Angeles computer room in terms of website building purposes.

The Vultr VPS host is characterized by multiple data centers and hourly payment. Some netizens contacted by Snail said that this VPS is not used to build websites, but is used to run some projects and software tests, such as using Most remote operation projects involve installing WINDOWS systems. Snail has also shared the method of installing Windows 2003 systems in his blog before (the complete process of mounting ISO on Vultr VPS to install Windows 2003 systems).

This morning a friend needed to install the XP system, and it was in English, so he informed him of the ISO address and snail installed it to see if it was feasible. For installing the Windows system on the Vultr custom ISO, we only need to prepare the packaged tape. ISO systems with drivers can basically be installed, but it will take some time to install by yourself. We can also ask netizens or those who specialize in installation services to install it on our behalf.

First, upload the Windows ISO file

Here we find an ISO warehouse we commonly use on the Internet, including the 2003 system. Just throw the URL address to the ISO area in the background of our VULTR account and submit it, and then wait for all uploads to be completed.

Second, choose the ISO file when setting up a VPS host

When we choose to add a new machine, we directly select the XP system file uploaded in advance in the first step in the Custom ISO file. Because the snail needs to be more convenient for testing here, I use the 1GB solution.

In this way, after we submit it, we will leave it to them to solve it themselves. After everything is turned on and installed, we will see the current running status of the machine and enter the background of the current VPS host.

Third, log in to VNC to install the XP system process

Here you log in to the system remotely through VNC in the panel, and then you need to operate and deploy the settings of the XP system.

Seeing this interface here, basically there are no big problems with the system. Just press Enter and then F8 to agree to the terms. Do we still have anyone who doesn’t know how to install the system?

At this time, it is slightly different from the WIN2003 system. Snail remembers that you need to format the merged disks first. Here you can see that the default is 20GB system disks together. It doesn't matter, just press Enter, and then select the format mode and the system will automatically copy the file.

Copying files and installing the system here are all automatic. It will start automatically after copying. The speed should still be OK. Here I chose an SSD hard drive. Here we can just wait. As long as we find or have our own ISO file to install the WIN system, the installation actually does not require much technology, but it is time-consuming.

After copying and installing by default, you will see a setting interface like this. We can click NEXT to continue the following operations.

Enter the serial number and proceed to the next step. Everything is left to the system to install itself.

To summarize, whether we are installing WIN2003 or 2008, or even installing the XP system above, the methods are similar. The main thing is to find the appropriate ISO resource files. We can share them from other netizens on the Internet, but if What I commonly use is to save them to my own server, because these large files consume a lot of resources and may not last long on others. Snail also had an ISO put on a machine before, and it lost 2TB of traffic in two days, and it had to be deleted later.
