Reserved Rom Space For Storage Of Operating System Drivers
US Patent:
7299345, Nov 20, 2007
Filed:
Sep 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/966064
Inventors:
Robert E. Van Cleve - The Woodlands TX, US
Steven R. Dupree - The Woodlands TX, US
Curtis R. Jones - Cypress TX, US
Darren J. Cepulis - The Woodlands TX, US
Steven R. Dupree - The Woodlands TX, US
Curtis R. Jones - Cypress TX, US
Darren J. Cepulis - The Woodlands TX, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 15/177
US Classification:
713 2, 711102
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system and related method for providing operating system drivers during installation of an operating system. In particular, the operating system drivers, that are not available with the operating system itself, are stored in unreserved ROM space. At an appropriate time during installation of the operating system, any needed or necessary drivers are copied from the ROM.
Semi-Persistent Relocatable Ram-Based Virtual Floppy Disk Method
US Patent:
7318149, Jan 8, 2008
Filed:
Sep 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/965998
Inventors:
Darren J. Cepulis - The Woodlands TX, US
Steven R. Dupree - The Woodlands TX, US
Curtis R. Jones - Cypress TX, US
Steven R. Dupree - The Woodlands TX, US
Curtis R. Jones - Cypress TX, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 9/24
US Classification:
713 2, 713 1, 713100
Abstract:
A method and related structure for providing operating system drivers during installation of the operating system, where those operating system drivers are provided by way of a virtual disk drive. Basic input/output system (BIOS) routines are adapted to support showing these operating system drivers as residing on a virtual disk drive within the system. The operating system drivers are stored in the unreserved ROM space of the computer. Further, multiple floppy images are stored in the ROM, and the BIOS is adapted to show only the floppy image appropriate for the operating system to be installed. The virtual drive contents may be those operating system drivers stored in the unreserved ROM, but also may be physically stored in RAM.
