Embodiment
The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and specific embodiment:
Embodiment 1
Example of the present invention is an example with WINDOWS operating system.When computer starting, at first need to judge whether the operating system that can start has been installed on the hard disk, specifically be at BIOS (BasicInput Output System, Basic Input or Output System (BIOS)) increases by one section code in, in order to before loading hard disk MBR (Main Boot Record) zone, to judge middle-and-high-ranking configuration of internal memory and power interface (AdvancedConfiguration and Power Interface, abbreviation ACPI) sign of part, this sign is used to put down in writing the OS Type that last time, start entered; If what find to enter last time is not Windows operating system (may be the DOS system or do not have installing operating system), then point out user installation operating system; Otherwise continue to judge whether the driver and/or the accompanying software of wishing installation had been installed in the operating system that will start.The method of judging has two kinds.A kind of be under the subregion of operating system place searching whether exist certain specific directory and file (for example: C: HPA Setup.log), if finding this document exists, then represent in this operating system corresponding driving program and/or accompanying software to be installed, at this moment, then directly start the operating system.
First method needs the file system of identifying operation system, for example: FAT16, FAT32, NTFS etc., but, some file system, for example NTFS belongs to very complicated file system, therefore very big in the difficulty of these file system of BIOS rank Direct Recognition, usually will start an embedded OS, for example: Linux, file access function itself that utilize this embedded OS to provide is discerned above-mentioned file system.This method is very big to the booting speed of computer influence.
Referring to Fig. 1, second method is the retention parameter district that utilizes among the computing machine CMOS, by wherein certain zone bit is carried out set and reset operation, in the expression computing machine whether driver and/or accompanying software has been installed.This zone bit was set to reset mode when computing machine dispatched from the factory, after driver and/or accompanying software have been installed, master control installation procedure by driver and/or accompanying software carries out set to this zone bit, Uninstaller by driver and/or accompanying software resets to this zone bit, this method realizes that cost is very little, but very practical.
If finding driver and/or accompanying software also is not mounted, then start an embedded OS on the hard disc of computer earlier, for example: Linux, and all subregions on the automatic loading hard disk, the minimum driving of visit HPA is copied on the subregion at operating system place, and a script file is write direct in the startup group or registration table of operating system, this script file is used to instruct operating system to remove to carry out under which catalogue which executable program file, the zone bit set in the retention parameter district among the CMOS, close HPA then, restart computing machine.
When computing machine starts once more, judge whether to have installed operating system still, whether the program of overdriving and/or accompanying software have been installed, directly start the operating system according to judged result, directly carry out the script file in the startup group then, the driver of visit HPA at first is installed according to the instruction in the script file, and then automatic driver and the software of installing of the needs that predefine is good among the installation HPA, like this, do not need producer that any independent CD or floppy disk medium are provided, do not need the user initiatively to participate in, main frame itself has just possessed the ability of automatic install driver and/or accompanying software.Final step is to delete from startup group or registration table own in this script file, no longer repeats similar action after so just guaranteeing to restart the computer afterwards.After the user was the driver unloading of visit HPA, this Uninstaller can reset the zone bit in the retention parameter district among the CMOS.
In addition, adopt above-mentioned second method, when computer starting, need not file system is analyzed, only need the parameter that is provided with among the CMOS of access computer, just can judge simply whether corresponding driving program and/or accompanying software are installed in the computing machine, and, no matter had in the hard disc of computer file system be any file system among FAT32, NTFS, the EXT2, also the operating system of no matter wherein installing is Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Linux.
Embodiment 2
Referring to Fig. 2, suppose: do not have the pre-assembled operational system when computing machine dispatches from the factory, but created a HPA subregion, comprise an embedded OS in this subregion, comprise a HPA access tool installed module in this embedded OS; A keyboard signal processing module, predefined function key is for calling HPA access tool installed module, and an accompanying software installation directory has a button to receive and transmits module in the mainboard BIOS.
User oneself has installed Windows XP at the C dish, press above-mentioned function key after restarting computing machine, button among the BIOS receives the transmission module and at first opens HPA, this push button signalling is passed to keyboard signal processing module among the HPA, the function that this module detects this button be want install driver and or accompanying software, then in the memory location of computing machine CMOS, for example: 1DH, write adjustment notch, for example: 0AH, restart computing machine, it is 0AH that the button of restarting back BIOS receives the mark value of transmitting among the module discovery computing machine CMOS, then start embedded OS, embedded OS starts HPA access tool installed module according to this mark.
HPA access tool installed module at first obtains the current active subregion from partition table be the C dish, then, under C packing catalogue, seek whether the HPA.LOG file is arranged, do not find, in the expression Windows system HPA access tool is not installed also, is shown to be used to point out the user installation HPA information of access tool.After the user determines described HPA access tool is installed, HPA access tool installed module just calls the file access function in the embedded OS access tool, under the C dish, create a directory, for example: C: HPA Vist, and the installation file of HPA access tool is copied under this catalogue, then " C: Documents and Settings All Users the Start menu program start " add a shortcut under the catalogue and point to above-mentioned " C: HPA Vist " catalogue, restart computing machine then.
Computing machine is through after restarting and entering Windows, the HPA access tool is installed automatically, shortcut in the deletion startup group, under C packing catalogue, create a HPA.LOG file, and this instrument according to C: a HPA Vist script file Preinstall.txt down automatically the accompanying software installation directory from the HPA subregion accompanying software that needs are pre-installed is installed down.
Above-mentioned process has just realized the installation of driver or accompanying software, and does not need the user to insert the such storage medium of CD, the expense of saving a large amount of media for computer manufacturer; The user only need provide a succinct more easy-to-use function by next key just install driver or accompanying software automatically and easily.
