<p>Methods and structure for utilizing a Solid State Drive (140) to enhance boot time for a computer (100). The computer includes a Solid State Drive that stores a boot cache for an Operating System of a computer, a Hard Disk Drive (130) that stores the Operating System, and a processor (110). The processor is able to load an interrupt handler that intercepts Input/Output requests directed to the Hard Disk Drive prior to loading a kernel of the Operating System. The interrupt handler is able to determine whether each intercepted request can be serviced with data from the boot cache, and to redirect a request to the Solid State Drive instead of the Hard Disk Drive if the request can be serviced with data from the boot cache.</p> |
