Abstract
An exemplary method controls the loading of a program in a computer system using a disk based operating system instead of allowing a built-in loading program resident in the operating system to handle the loading. The method separates the loading of the program into a series of modules that are loaded from a disk into random access memory where each module has a predefined target time interval within which the loading of the module is to be completed. The computer system is released to process other tasks following completion of the loading of one module and before the start of loading of a following module so that disruptions to the processing of the other tasks running on the computer system are minimized.
