ABSTRACT:
A method of swapping auxiliary storage devices in a computer using a suspend mode includes the steps of: determining if a suspend mode command has been given, and, if so, determining if a specific device is mounted a bay of the computer; and setting an event flag if a specific device is mounted in the bay of the computer, and after storing an ID of the specific device, executing the suspend mode, or storing a default value if a specific device has not been mounted in the bay of the computer and executing the suspend mode. The suspend mode enables the swapping of auxiliary storage devices in the bay of the computer while maintaining the computer in an ON state and temporarily suspending all programs in use.
