Abstract:
A method for integrating an operating system (OS) into a basic input output system (BIOS) chip and to boot a computer using programs stored in the BIOS. A bootable image file of the OS is integrated with a virtual disk program and other BIOS instructions and stored into the BIOS chip. When the computer is powered up and upon the condition that an OS in a hard disk of a computer system is damaged, the OS in the BIOS chip is executed.
Abstract:
A method for integrating an operating system (OS) into a basic input output system (BIOS) chip and to boot a computer system using an image file stored in a server. A bootable image file of the OS is integrated with a virtual disk program and other BIOS instructions and stored into the BIOS chip. When the computer system is powered up, the OS stored in the BIOS can be booted to allow the another OS stored in the server to be downloaded into the harddisk and executed. The BIOS OS can also allow an OS stored on the local drive to be executed.
