Information processing apparatus

摘要

An information processing apparatus controlled by a control program includes a recording medium reading section (102) controlled by the control program to perform loading/unloading of a recording medium, a program data storing section (104) for storing program data corresponding to the control program, a program status verifying section (103) for verifying the correctness of the program data stored in the program data storing section (104) prior to boot up of the control program, and a recording medium reading control section (110). When the correctness of the program data is not verified by the program status verifying section (103), and the recording medium reading section (102) is in a first state where a user cannot physically mount a recording medium, the recording medium reading control section (110) changes the recording medium reading section (102) from the first state to a second state where the user can physically mount a recording medium. <IMAGE>
