Problems solved by technology

[0002] In order to allow users to install drivers and / or accompanying software when needed, computer manufacturers usually provide a set of software CDs or floppy disks to users when selling computers. This method has at least three shortcomings: one is The production cost of each computer is increased; the second is that the CD or floppy disk may be damaged or lost, and the user sometimes cannot find the attached CD or floppy disk when needed; the third is the operational difficulty for the manufacturer to upgrade or patch the random software Big
The practicability of this solution is not good, and the requirements for the user are relatively high; once the user cannot find the manual, they do not know how to operate it, which increases the workload and cost of the manufacturer's after-sales service

Embodiment 1

[0013] The example of the present invention takes the WINDOWS operating system as an example. When the computer is started, it is first necessary to determine whether a bootable operating system has been installed on the hard disk, specifically adding a piece of code in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) to load the hard disk MBR (Master Boot Record) Before judging the area, it is a sign of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) part of the memory, which is used to record the type of operating system entered last time; if it is found that the last entered operating system is not Windows If it is a DOS system or no operating system is installed), then the user is prompted to install the operating system; otherwise, continue to judge whether the driver program and / or random software desired to be installed have been installed in the operating system to be started. There are two ways to judge. One is to find whether there is a specific directory and file (for ex...

Embodiment 2

[0020] see figure 2 , assuming: the computer does not have an operating system pre-installed when it leaves the factory, but an HPA partition is created, which contains an embedded operating system, and the embedded operating system contains an HPA access tool installation module; a keyboard signal processing module has been The predefined function key is to call the HPA access tool installation module, a random software installation directory, and there is a key receiving and transmitting module in the motherboard BIOS.

[0021] The user installs Windows XP on the C drive, presses the above-mentioned function key after restarting the computer, the key reception and transmission module in the BIOS first opens the HPA, and transmits the key signal to the keyboard signal processing module in the HPA, and the module detects the key. The function of the key is to install the driver and or random software, then write the installation mark in a storage location of the computer CMOS...
