Method for quickly booting a computer device with a data disc with a built-in operating system

【Technical field】

The invention relates to a method for quickly starting a computer device, in particular to a method for quickly starting a computer device with a data disc with a built-in operating system.

【Background technique】

In the field of application of computer devices with media playback functions, there are various media data formats. In response to different media data, various software developers also design different media playing applications. The computer device can present the media data through an appropriate media application program.

In the existing multimedia computer device, no matter what kind of media data is read or what kind of media application program is executed, most of its design depends on the computer device. If the user wants to execute the media audio-visual playing function, the application program of the media playing device must be started through the operating system of the computer device to be executed. That is to say, the operator must first start the computer device, and complete all procedures such as basic input and output system program initiation, system self-test, peripheral equipment detection and drive, operating system startup, system configuration setting, etc. on the computer device After that, the media data playback function can be executed. In the lengthy computer start-up process, the user often spends a very long waiting time, and cannot achieve the functions of quick start and play media data, so it is inconvenient to use.

For example, when a general image file (such as JPG, GIF, TIFF, etc.) is burnt to a data disc such as a CD or DVD, it must be pre-installed with an operating system and play the specified image. The graphics files on the data disc can only be seen on the computer device of the application program (such as ACDsee, Photoshop...) of the graphics files.

Furthermore, after the computer device finishes executing the program, it needs to be shut down according to the normal shutdown regulations of the computer device, otherwise, if it is directly shut down, it may cause damage to the hard disk of the computer device or destroy data in the hard disk.

In addition to the need for different graphic file application programs to successfully read graphic files, the graphic file application programs may also be restricted by the operating system used by the computer device. If the graphic file of the data disc is If the file is recorded in a format different from that of the operating system of the computer device, the graphic file cannot be played or browsed smoothly under the operating system environment of the computer device.
