A file switching method of a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) file is disclosed. Upon a received read instruction, a timer for a predetermined timing is initiated, and a first data page having a requested data is read from a first BIOS file. An error correction check on the first data page is performed to check if any error in the first data page. If an error is occurred in the error correction check, repeating the step “reading the first data page”. If number of times of the repeating step exceeds a predetermined number, or if the predetermined timing is expired, a second data page having the requested data is read from a second BIOS file according to the read instruction.
