Background technique

When the computer is used, the operating system is often damaged due to improper operation, poisoning or power failure. Therefore, in the past, before the computer was shipped, the computer manufacturer would divide the data storage sector inside the computer into an operating system area and a system restore area. The operating system area stores an operating system, and the system restore area stores a backup operating system, such as system restore files. When the user wants to execute the update program of the operating system of the computer, he can press a restore key electrically connected to the main board to trigger the restore function of the operating system. After the operating system restore function is triggered, the BIOS or miniaturized system of the computer will use the spare operating system in the system restore area to restore the operating system in the operating system area.

In addition, in the past, if the backup operating system needs to be updated, a completely new backup operating system is usually downloaded from the cloud server of the operating system provider to overwrite the original backup operating system in the system restore area. However, the file capacity of a complete new standby operating system is often very large, so that it takes a long time to download the file, which is very inconvenient for the update of the standby operating system.

As shown in FIG. 2, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 will divide the data sector of the data storage unit 12 into a first system storage sector 121, a second system storage sector 122 and a data storage sector. Sector 125. The first system storage sector 121 and the data storage sector 125 are respectively preset as a display sector by the firmware 111 , and the second system storage sector 122 is preset as a hidden sector by the firmware. In the present invention, the hidden sector is a physical storage space that cannot be viewed by an operating system or BIOS through a logical block address, for example: the second system storage sector 122 is a reserved space provided by a solid-state hard disk manufacturer (Over Provisioning, OP).

The first system storage sector 121 is used to store an original operating system 21 and includes a first initial sector address 1211 . The second system storage sector 122 is used for storing a first backup operating system 22 and includes a second initial sector address 1221 .

Next, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 presets a boot pointer 120 to point to the first start sector address 1211 of the first system storage sector 121, and uses the first start sector address 1211 as a main boot sector address, for example : The zeroth logical block address (Logical block addressing 0, LBA 0). When the electronic device is powered on, at first, according to the guidance of the boot pointer 120, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 enters the first system storage sector 121 of the data storage unit 12, and reads the first system storage sector 121 The master boot record 1212 in the first initial sector address 1211 , and the boot process of the original operating system 21 is executed with the master boot record 1212 . After the original operating system 21 is booted up normally, the electronic device will run with the original operating system 21 .

Furthermore, the firmware 111 defines a boot pointer displacement program 1111 . In one embodiment of the present invention, when the original operating system 21 is abnormal or needs to be updated, the firmware 111 executes the boot pointer displacement program 1111 to move the boot pointer 120 from the first initial sector address of the first system storage sector 121 1211 moves to the second initial sector address 1221 of the second system storage sector 122, and the second initial sector address 1221 is used as the main boot sector address (LBA 0). Moreover, the first system storage sector 121 is converted from a display sector to a hidden sector, and the second system storage sector 122 is converted from a hidden sector to a display sector. Next, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 reads the master boot record 1222 in the second initial sector address 1221 of the second system storage sector 122, and uses the master boot record 1222 to execute the booting of the new version of the first backup operating system 221 process. After the new version of the first backup operating system 221 is normally booted, the electronic device will run with the new version of the first backup operating system 221 .
