Computer startup method, program, storage medium, and information processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A startup method of a computer which sequentially reads an OS, a driver, and an application stored in an external storage device and deploys the OS, the driver, and the application in a memory in a startup, the computer startup method characterized by comprising a file saving step of saving the contents of the memory at the point when the driver is read and deployed in the memory subsequent to the OS in the external storage device as a system file;
- and a high-speed startup step of, in a startup after the system file is saved in the external storage device, reading the system file from the external storage device and deploying the system file in the memory, and then reading the application and deploying the application in the memory.

Abstract
A startup method of a computer which sequentially reads an OS, drivers, and applications stored in an external storage device and deploys them in a memory in a startup is provided. In a first startup, the contents of the memory at the point when the drivers are read and deployed in the memory subsequent to the OS are saved as a system file in the external storage device. In a startup after the system file is saved in the external storage device, after the system file is read from the external storage device and deployed in the memory, the applications are read and collectively deployed in the memory, so as to perform a high-speed startup.
