ABSTRACT:
In a computer system selectively operable in multiple operating systems, supported-card identification information identifying types of expansion cards supported by respective ones of the operating systems is previously stored. An unsupported expansion card is determined among the plurality of expansion cards based on identification information supported by a selected operating system. The unsupported expansion card is powered off to conceal it from the selected operating system.
