Abstract
A booting method is provided. In the booting method, a basic input/output system (BIOS) is activated to check a first set value. When the first set value corresponds to a fast boot mode, the BIOS performs a fast boot process, in which the fast boot process is interrupted when the BIOS receives a system control interrupt. The BIOS changes a second set value and the first set value according to the system control interrupt, so that the first set value corresponds to a normal boot process. Next, the BIOS is reactivated. Further, the BIOS performs a normal boot process when the first set value corresponds to the normal boot mode, in which the BIOS checks the second set value, so as to execute an operating process corresponding to the second set value and recover the second set value and the first set value.
