Abstract
A method for automatically restoring a system configuration with a single key in a computer having a power button is provided. The method includes detecting a press mode of the power button; determining a relevant restoring item according to the press mode; performing a process for restoring the system configuration corresponding to the restoring item, which aims at updating/recovering the system configuration, or clearing the system configuration setting stored in a CMOS memory; and performing a normal boot process.
Claims7
A method for automatically restoring a system configuration with a single key, wherein the method is used to set/recover system configuration parameters in order to ensure a normal boot-up sequence, wherein the method comprises:
- detecting a mode of press modes of a power button;
- determining one of restoring items according to the mode;
- restoring the system configuration corresponding to the one of the restoring items;
- and
- performing a normal boot process,
- wherein the restoring items comprise commands of clearing information stored in a CMOS memory, restoring original system configuration setting, and rewriting a BIOS program, and each one of the press modes corresponds to a different one of the restoring items,
- wherein
- when the power button is pressed twice for two different durations, the step of clearing information stored in the CMOS memory is executed;
- when the power button is pressed for a first duration and sequentially pressed twice for a second duration equally, the step of restoring the original system configuration setting is executed;
- and
- when the power button is pressed for the first duration and sequentially pressed three times for the second duration equally, the step of rewriting the BIOS program is executed.
