Hard disk boot sequence recognition method and system

Abstract

This invention discloses an identifying method and an identifying system of hard disk starting order, which identify a hard disk needed to be installed when an operation system is mounted on a multiple hard disks of a machine, and starts from the selected hard disk after re-starting. The method comprises following steps: installing an operation system by starting an optical disk; using an instruction to acquire the number of the hard disk and device number of the machine when there is an option hard disk interface on a started optical disk; corresponding the hard disk and the physical position by corresponding to a physical position analysis module via an magnetic disk; corresponding to a BIOS analysis module via the magnetic disk, corresponding to the hard disk to a starting prior option of the BIOS; recording the corresponding relationship of the hard disk and the BIOS; after restarting the machine, setting the hard disk as a first prior starting in the BIOS. According to this invention, the operation of installing the operation system in the multiple hard disks is simplified; the accessibility of the computer or the server is improved; the technical requirement to the computer or the serve usage and the maintenance staff is lowered, such that the considerable economic benefit is generated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of initial control or configuration control in a general-purpose computer or server, and in particular relates to a method and system for identifying a hard disk startup sequence. Background technique [0002] With the high-speed development of high-performance computers, especially servers, the interfaces of hard disks on computers or servers are becoming more and more advanced, and the number of hard disks is increasing. While this brings convenience to our work, it also brings such a problem: when installing the operating system, the user obviously chooses to install it on a hard disk, but once the machine is restarted, it cannot start from the hard disk selected during installation. . [0003] The basic input and output system BIOS (Basic input and output system) controls the boot sequence of the hard disk, but the way the BIOS controls the priority of boot devices is non-standard, and each BIOS manufacturer and ...

Problems solved by technology

While this brings convenience to our work, it also brings such a problem: when installing the operating system, the user obviously chooses to install it on a hard disk, but once the machine is restarted, it cannot start from the hard disk selected during installation.

[0006] No. 02156859.6 Chinese patent application has the following deficiencies: one, the purpose of this patent is to change the startup sequence of various devices, these devices include floppy drives, optical drives, hard drives or other external disks, and cannot solve the problem that the above-mentioned multiple hard drives cannot be recognized The problem

2. In the implementation of this patent, the startup sequence of the device is automatically modified by modifying the value in CMOS, which is necessary for the unattended production process, but the startup sequence between hard disks cannot be modified

[0007] The US Patent No. US5274816 has the following disadvantages: in this patent, by pressing a function key to enter the external device that the user wants to start, it cannot solve the problem that the above-mentioned multiple hard disks cannot be recognized.
