METHOD FOR COPYING DATA FROM AN EXTERNAL STORAGE DEVICE TO A COMPUTER, AND COMPUTER CAPABLE OF PERFORMING THE METHOD

摘要

In a method for copying data from an external storage device to a computer, the computer is provided with a basic input/output system (BIOS) program used for performing the method. The method includes the steps of: (a) after the computer is powered on, initializing the external storage device in response to a hot key trigger; and (b) storing the data from the external storage device to the computer. Since data is copied from the external storage device to the computer immediately after powering on the computer, efficiency is enhanced.
