摘要： Installable device drivers may be stored on a partition, e.g., Utility Partition (UP) or other OEM partition, of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) storage device, e.g., hard disk drive, by associating an INT13h Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) interrupt call, e.g., reading from floppy disk drive a: or drive b: a desired storage device driver during the normal course of installing an operating system (OS), e.g., Microsoft Windows, Linux, BSD, Unix, etc., on the information handling system, e.g., personal computer, server, blade server, storage array, workstation, etc. The run-time loading of a raw floppy image having OS installable drivers residing in the Utility Partition or other hidden partition on the hard disk may be presented as a virtual floppy disk drive to the OS installer, e.g., person (manual) or scripted (automated) process.

摘要： A system and method is disclosed for the uniform installation of one or more of a plurality of heterogeneous operating systems (operating systems) on a predetermined information handling system. A common preinstallation environment (CPE) is implemented, comprising a host preinstallation environment (HPE) and one or more native preinstallation environments (NPEs). If an NPE is not required for installation, an HPE comprising a common, bootable kernel generates a bootable operating system image that is installed on the target system. Otherwise, the HPE creates a deployment partition, where it implements the NPE and generates a metafile describing the hardware drivers supported by the NPE. The HPE then inventories the hardware components comprising the target system and compares the results to the metafile. If all required drivers are accessible, the target system boots to the NPE, which begins native installation of the chosen operating system. Otherwise, the HPE injects the missing drivers into the operating system image generated by the NPE and the resulting operating system image is then installed on the target system. If the HPE cannot inject drivers into the NPE, then a stage handler is implemented to relinquish installation control to the NPE which completes a native installation.

摘要： Multiple blocks of noncontiguous text displayed in a user interface may be selected by a user and simultaneously manipulated. Actuation of the multiple text selection control by the user creates an array of buffers, with each buffer allocated for one of the noncontiguous blocks of text selected by the user. A paste operation results in the contents of the buffers being concatenated and pasted together as one block. A delete operation results in all selected blocks of text being simultaneously deleted. Other operations may also be performed simultaneously on the multiple blocks of noncontiguous text selected by the user.

摘要翻译： 在用户界面中显示的多个不连续的文本块可以由用户选择并且被同时操纵。 由用户启动多重文本选择控制，创建一个缓冲区阵列，每个缓冲区分配给用户选择的非连续文本块之一。 粘贴操作导致缓冲器的内容被连接并作为一个块粘贴在一起。 删除操作会导致所有选定的文本块被同时删除。 也可以在用户选择的多个不连续文本块上同时执行其他操作。
