A method for changing a booting source when a first operating system is being executed is disclosed. The method is utilized in a computer system having a first storage device storing the first operating system and a second storage device storing a second operating system. The method includes: receiving a signal from the second storage device; detecting whether the second storage device is a target device; setting the second storage device as a booting device; rebooting; and executing the second operating system from the second storage device.
