<p>The primary operating system (26) of a computer (32) such as a notebook computer is stored on disk (24) in a hard disk drive (12) and a smaller, secondary operating system (28) such as an email operating system, wireless phone operating system, DVD player operating system, etc, is stored on disk (24) and is transferred to flash memory (30) within the HDD (12) upon power-down of the primary operating system (26). In this way, should the user subsequently elect to power up the computer (32) only for a limited secondary purpose, the user can elect to boot the associated secondary operating system (28) from flash memory (30) of the HDD (12) without having to spin up the disks (24), saving energy and reducing boot time.</p> |
