[0048] The information device of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 10 .
[0049]
[0050] An information device is an information device with a fixed disk device. The fixed disk device stores an operating system (hereinafter referred to as OS), various application programs, and initial data set at the factory.
[0051] In a conventional information device, original data is previously copied to a predetermined area in many cases, and when storing original initial data, a conventional information device is used. In this way, by copying the stored initial data again, the information device can be restored to the original state when it leaves the factory.
[0052] FIG. 3 is an example of a data storage format of a fixed disk device having a conventional initial state restoration function as described above. The storage state 300 of the fixed disk at the factory is shown on the left side of FIG. 3 . At the ti...

[0079] FIG. 8 illustrates another example of a data storage format of a fixed disk device with an original state restoration function. Compared with the configuration of the storage areas of FIG. 5 , in FIG. 8 , initial data storage areas and update data storage areas are alternately arranged in adjacent tracks.
[0080] That is, in the initial state 500 at the time of shipment (on the left side of FIG. 8 ), among the tracks with track numbers 1 to 2n, odd-numbered tracks are not used, and initial data is stored in even-numbered tracks.
[0081] Also, for example, when the original data in Track 2 is changed, the data after the change is stored in Track 1 instead of Track 2 . Generally, when the original data in the track 2m is changed, the changed data is stored in the track 2m-1 instead of the track 2m.
[0082] Under this data configuration, if a read request for the track 2m-1 occurs, the data in the track 2m-1 and the track 2m are continuously read to the read buffer (no...
Embodiment 2
[0085] FIG. 9 illustrates another example of a data storage format of a fixed disk device with an original state restoration function. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the initial data storage area 402 and the update data storage area 403 are equal in size. Thus, in the example shown in FIG. 5, the area of the fixed disk is occupied by a designated area 401, an initial data storage area 402, and an update data storage area 403 for storing data in which initial data is changed. In this way, no area is left that the user can use.
[0086] However, in general, the size of the initial data generally only occupies a part of the entire storage area. For example, for the number n of tracks in the updated data storage area and the number m of tracks in the initial data storage area, a relationship m<
