PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processing apparatus capable of obtaining the effect of shortening start-up time not only when only a redetermined peripheral device is used but also when a plurality of peripheral devices are provided and any one of them is used, and a method for starting up the information processing apparatus. SOLUTION: A computer 1 includes: a start-up operation means; a switching means for switching the peripheral device to a detectable state or an undetectable state; a determination means for determining whether a start-up operation is a normal start-up operation for normal start-up of starting up all of the peripheral devices or a specific start-up operation for specified start-up of starting up only any of the peripheral devices; a first switching control means for respectively switching the specified peripheral device corresponding to the specified start-up operation to the detectable state and non-specific peripheral devices other than the specific peripheral device to the undetectable state respectively by the switching means when the specified start-up operation is determined; and a second switching control means for switching the non-specified peripheral devices to the detectable state by the switching means after the specific peripheral device is detected by an OS.
