1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a first recording medium which stores a first program;
a connection section which is capable of connecting with a second recording medium from outside; and
a controller which determines, during BIOS boot-up operation, whether or not (1) an authentication information file containing predetermined authentication information is stored in the second recording medium connected to the connection section, and whether or not (2) a difference between a created date and an updated date, in a file attribute of the authentication information file, is within a predetermined range, and if the above (1) and (2) are verified, boots a second program stored in the second recording medium whereas, if (1) and (2) are not verified, boots the first program.

9. A computer readable recording medium recorded thereon a program for allowing an information processing apparatus to operate in such a way that, during BIOS boot-up operation, the information apparatus determines whether or not (1) an authentication information file containing predetermined authentication information is stored in a second recording medium connected to the connection section from outside, and whether or not (2) a difference between a created date and an updated date, in a file attribute of the authentication information file, is within a predetermined range, and if the above (1) and (2) are verified, boots a second program stored in the second recording medium whereas, if (1) and (2) are not verified, boots the first program.

10. A computer readable recording medium recorded thereon a program for allowing an information processing apparatus to operate in such a way that, during BIOS boot-up operation, the information apparatus determines whether or not (1) an authentication information file containing predetermined authentication information is stored in a second recording medium connected to the connection section from outside, and whether or not (2) a created date described in the authentication information file agrees with a created date in a file attribute of the authentication information file, where the created date in the file attribute having been rewritten upon a change or an operation applied to the file and if the above (1) and (2) are verified, boots a second program stored in the second recording medium whereas, if (1) and (2) are not verified, boots a first program.
