Abstract
A computer system includes a hard disk drive and a non-volatile semiconductor memory. The hard disk drive stores a first set of data that includes boot up data. The non-volatile semiconductor memory is distinct from semiconductor memory of the hard disk drive and semiconductor memory of a host of the computer system. A turbo boot driver module stores the boot up data in the non-volatile semiconductor memory and transfers the boot up data from the non-volatile semiconductor memory to a file system of the host during a boot up mode of the host.
Claims17
A computer system comprising:
- a hard disk drive that stores a first set of data that includes boot up data;
- a non-volatile semiconductor memory that is distinct from semiconductor memory of the hard disk drive and semiconductor memory of a host of the computer system;
- and
- a turbo boot driver module that stores the boot up data in the non-volatile semiconductor memory and that transfers the boot up data from the non-volatile semiconductor memory to a file system of the host during a boot up mode of the host.
