Abstract
A method for boot media loader that includes detecting bootable media independent of any media partitioning. When bootable media is detected, data is read from a predetermined location of the bootable media. Next, the file system type is determined from the read data. The boot loader code is loaded for the corresponding file system type from basic input and output system (BIOS) code, and execution control is transferred to the boot loader code.
