The plug-and-play system and method without the y-page start operating system, the system is similar to the above embodiment, the difference is that the operating system of the system does not require an operating system in the computer. Referring to FIG. 4, in step 41, an external device (such as a flash memory storage device) is inserted into the computer system, and then the power of the computer is turned on in step 420. In general, after the computer is turned on, the 'basic input and output system (s) will perform the so-called boot process, and each device in the system is detected before starting the operating system, and the operating system in the system is usually stored. On the hard drive. BI0S is set in the whispered stomach memory of the fineness, and contains many computer system basic output into the two sides of the control code ', and the self-test program is also turned on after the s ' it will read the setting data 'If the capacity of the hard disk and the system at the time ^ special. In this procedure, 8 is to detect the priority of booting, and use the system to enable the system to boot from the data stored in the disk, the optical disc or the storage medium connected to the eight-connected port. In the application mode of the present invention, the configurable system is powered on by the U s B port, which is connected to the musB device. Referring to Figure 4A, the components detected by the program include, but are not limited to, a memory, a display, an input/output device, a central processing unit, a hard disk, and a timer. ^Inventive disclosure - a method for executing an application without starting an operating system in a computer.

Occupy: Storage V is usually used by technicians. 'Windows or other operating systems have a huge amount of stuff.' Not only does it take a lot of time to load the platform or low-level: applications. If you only need to perform simple methods and systems provided by this month, it is only manned to simplify the embedded 13 1284263, the memory of the brain, and then the simplified operating system is short; the door: formula. Because the entire operating system is not required, it is included in the scheduled work. The flash memory storage device can be simplified to simplify the embedded system 225 and the software 20, and the embedded, first, and second 225 can automatically start the computer and execute the application. For example, in the example of the use, the embedded system 225 can be a computer boot computer to enable the (four) memory storage device to be built into the erasable/processable 2 storage medium (flash memory).
