A system which is intended for wake-up restores and wakes up information necessary for resuming a task from a detachable external storage device regardless of whether or not the system has executed hibernation. Historical information showing that hibernation was executed in a system including the external storage device is installed in a predetermined area of an external storage device. The wake-up system checks the history information for executing wake-up (step 1101). Furthermore, the external storage device stores control information including system configuration information when the task is suspended. The wake-up system compares stored system configuration information with its own configuration information (step 1102). When the configuration information does not agree, the restoration of information to the main memory from the external storage device is rejected. <IMAGE> |
