ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an electronic apparatus in which in the case where a resume is instructed from the user, a status of FDD is checked, and when the FDD is in the state in which it can be shifted to the resume, the resume is executed, and when it is impossible to shift to the resume, an alarm is generated to the user so as not to shift to the resume. The shift to the resume status is detected every stage and a record is stored into a memory every completion of each stage. When each stage is completed, it is regarded that the information stored at this stage can be broken, so that the power supply to a device is stopped. In case of executing a resuming operation, information is written back for only the device which needs the resuming operation in accordance with the recorded content. Thus, even when the resume is in an incomplete state, the apparatus can be again resumed to the former operating status.
