ABSTRACT:
A method for correcting an operating program of a hard disk drive. A break point is set in an address to be corrected from an operating program stored in a storage area of a hard disk drive, and a machine language of a program to be added to the operating program is converted into an execution file suitable for an operating system. The machine language converted into the execution file is written into a unused specific area of a disk. If the address in which the break point is set is implemented while carrying out the operating program after an initial power is supplied, a break interrupt is generated and the machine language of the added program written into the specific area of the disk is executed to correct the operating program.
