METHOD FOR AUTOMATING BOOT PROCESS OF DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING DATA AND PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method and system for data processing. SOLUTION: This data processing system is provided with a processor connected to a memory. Plural operating systems are stored in the memory. One operating system among those operating systems is loaded by a loader program, and executed by a processor every time this system is started, and an operating platform for the data processing system is applied. The operating system to be loaded by the loader program for the next system start can be selected during the present system session. Thus, the loader program automatically loads the preliminarily selected operating system in response to the next system start of the data processing system.
