Abstract
A system and method for manufacturing a hard disk master for copying a hard disk are provided. The manufacturing system includes a server computer and a client computer for logging in on the server computer and generating the hard disk master. The server computer includes a program storing portion for storing programs and drivers, a user interfacing portion for selecting the programs and drivers required by the hard disk master and for storing the selected programs and drivers, a setup file generating portion for generating information on the selected programs and an order in which the programs and drivers are installed, and a script file generating portion for generating information on the setting of the hardware environment and operating conditions. The client computer includes a downloading portion for downloading the selected programs and drivers and the setup file, and a hard disk master generating portion for sequentially installing the programs and drivers required by the hard disk master by executing the setup file.
