Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 10-307725, the computer does not perform the boot process until the boot CD-ROM is loaded into the CD-ROM drive disc.
Therefore, when the user does not have a boot CD-ROM, the user must reselect a boot device other than the CD-ROM drive.

Embodiment Construction

[0016] figure 1 is a perspective view of a personal notebook computer (hereinafter referred to as a computer) whose display unit 3 is opened relative to the main body 2 as an example of an information processing device to which a guide processing control method is applied according to an embodiment of the present invention. The computer 1 includes a main body 2 and a display unit 3 . The display unit 3 includes a display device having a liquid crystal display (LCD) 4 disposed substantially at the center of the display unit 3 .

[0017] The display unit 3 is pivotally attached to the main body 2 between an open position and a closed position. The main body 2 is substantially rectangular. For example, a keyboard 5 and a power button 6 for turning on and off the power of the computer 1 are provided on the upper surface of the main body 2 . Press the power button 6 to start using the computer 1 . Next, the configuration of the computer 1 will be described.

Abstract

In a boot processing control method for an information processing apparatus according to this invention, the first boot device in which a medium can be loaded or a boot device different from the first boot device is designated. When a boot process cannot be executed from the first boot device in accordance with designation of the first boot device, a user is prompted to load the medium in the first boot device. After the user is prompted to load the medium in the first boot device, when the boot process of the operating system cannot be executed from the first boot device in which the user loads the medium, the boot process of the operating system is executed from the boot device different from the first boot device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device such as a computer, and a boot process control method of the information processing device. Background technique [0002] Typically, a computer has multiple boot devices. A computer boots an operating system from a boot device having the highest priority among a plurality of boot devices such as an optical disk drive and a hard disk drive. [0003] Conventionally, in the process of booting an operating system from a CD-ROM drive, as in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 10-307725 (4-5 pages, figure 2 ), the following techniques have been proposed. The process of automatically opening the CD-ROM drive disc when the power of the computer equipment is turned on, and the process of displaying and outputting the boot information on the display device so that the user loads the boot CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive disc are repeat...
