<p>A computer (10) has a central processing unit (CPU)(40), memory (22,14) and an I/O subsystem (26). The I/O subsystem (26) is linked to a mass storage device (30) having a first partition (48), and a second partition (50) containing a hibernation data storage area (51). The mass storage device (30) further includes a partition table (44) which indicates that the first partition (48) is active to boot the computer (10) and that the second partition (50) is not active. The computer (10) also has logic using the I/O subsystem (26) to select which partition is to be used to boot the computer (10). The memory (22,14) contains a program, in response to the logic to select the partition, which is capable of reading the partition table (44) of the mass storage device (30) and modifying it so that the selected partition is presented as active to the CPU (40) for booting the computer (10). <IMAGE></p> |
