ABSTRACT:
If a boot device is a CD-ROM drive, whether a CD-ROM medium is loaded in the CD-ROM drive is checked. When no medium is loaded, a tray open command is issued to the CD-ROM drive to automatically open the tray before starting a boot process from another device such as an HDD. When the user sets the CD-ROM medium on the tray and closes the tray, the bootstrap of an operating system from the CD-ROM medium is executed.
