摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for selecting a waking process. An input module receives a specified input during the off state of a data processing device. In addition, the input module stores the input in the storage module. The storage module may be integrated within the input module. The input module activates the data processing device in response to the input. A wake module retrieves the input from the storage module. In addition, the wake module determines a process that corresponds to the input. The wake module wakes the data processing device using the process.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for protecting hard disk data in multiple operating system environments. The present invention restricts access of a hard file to a range of logical addresses using a controller module configured to access a hard file in response to a request for a logical address, a set zero module configured to add an offset value to each request for a logical address on a hard file, and a set max module configured to set a maximum logical address accessible on a hard file. The invention limits access to a lower protected area with logical addresses below the range of logical address and a host protected area with logical address above the range of logical addresses.

摘要： Disclosed is a method for reducing power-up time and avoiding customer-induced failures of computer systems during power-up. An intrusion switch, which is connected to the inside frame of the computer system is utilized. The intrusion switch signals the BIOS of the computer system whenever the cover of the computer's system unit is opened. The BIOS controls the POST operation during power-up of the computer system. During an initial power-up of the computer system, the POST configuration code examines and configures the hardware and sets the applicable registers, etc. At the end of the POST configuration code, the register values are stored in non-volatile storage. During a subsequent power-up of the computer system, a check is made to see if the cover of the system had been opened. When the cover has not been opened, the BIOS assumes that no changed has occurred in the hardware configuration and the BIOS restores the register values from non-volatile storage without completing the POST operation. When the cover has been opened, the BIOS discards the register values and initiates the POST operation, i.e., a full configuration operation is performed and new values stored in the registers and non-volatile storage element.
