ABSTRACT:
A booting system, a boot program, and a method therefor are provided. A boot source device and a boot target device are connected to each other via a transfer interface. The transfer interface is an interface where booting is supported by a BIOS of the boot target device. The boot source device transfers a first object corresponding to booting data which allows the boot target device to establish and use a connection including an interface other than the transfer interface, which is not supported by the BIOS, via the transfer interface. After the boot target device is enabled to use the interface other than the transfer interface, the boot source device transfers a second object corresponding to booting data for booting up an OS of the boot target device or the like via the transfer interface and transfer interfaces and to the boot target device to boot the boot target device.
