ABSTRACT:
A method and system for starting a multiple PDA OS through a menu is disclosed. The invention mainly modifies the BIOS booting procedure in a notebook PC installed with multiple OS's. After the notebook PC is turned on, the multiple OS's are detected. These multiple OS's, including a PDA OS and a normal notebook PC basic OS (such as the Windows OS), are displayed on a menu. By ignoring some hardware diagnostic steps during the BIOS booting procedure and only performing hardware diagnoses for those input devices that support menu manipulations, the starting speed of the laptop can be accelerated. The user can thus start any OS by clicking the desired item in the OS menu.
