Method for quickly booting a computer system

A method for fast booting a computer system, comprising the steps of:

• A. performing a power on self test (POST) of basic input output system (BIOS) when the system is powered on or reset is requested;
• B. resuming a boot configuration information including a system booting state by using the boot configuration information which was stored while executing a previous normal boot process;
• and
• C. loading a graphic user interface (GUI) program.

A method for quickly booting a computer system in which Windows operating system is installed, comprising the steps of:

• A. performing a power on self test (POST) of basic input output system (BIOS) when the system is powered on or reset is requested;
• B. checking whether a boot configuration information including a system booting state which was created while executing a previous normal boot process exists or not;
• C. storing the current boot configuration information, if there is no stored boot configuration information;
• D. performing the POST operation when the computer system is rebooted;
• E. resuming the stored boot configuration information;
• and
• F. updating the boot configuration information before a graphic user interface (GUI) program is loaded, if a designated boot configuration information is different from the boot configuration information.

A method for supporting fast booting a computer system through storing/resuming a memory status of the system, comprising the steps of:

• checking whether to store a memory contents status;
• checking memory contents of a certain unit of the memory;
• selectively storing contents written in an area necessary for system operation based on the memory contents checking result;
• and
• resuming the stored contents for fast booting.
