摘要: A personal computer is BIOS configured to boot from an installed CD-ROM storing multiple operating systems in different partitions of the medium. The initially booted a user selected or default partition emulating logical drive. With original maintained active, emulation additional as other drives performed when needed. This accomplished with device tables, each dynamically associated drive letter. Hence, system files found only remain available are called.
