A method for switching operation system by a hotkey, it can switch operation system by the preestablished hotkey quickly when the basic input/output system (BIOS) processes power on self test (POST). The method includes steps: BIOS POST; displaying information about the hotkey pre-established by user or defaulted in the system; judging whether the user presses the pre-established hotkey; if the user presses the pre-established hotkey, the system would inspect whether connected to a hard disk drive; if connected to the hard disk drive, BIOS will edit the disk partition table (DPT) saved in the master boot record (MBR), namely edit the partition parameter of the operation system (OS) corresponding to the hotkey; returning BIOS self test; loading the MBR; according to the edited parameter MBR searches the OS corresponding to the hotkey and loads the OS.
