Abstract
A method for initiating a system is provided. In the present invention, a specific data, which is not used for executing an initiating program of an interface device, is moved from a conventional memory to an extended memory temporarily, such that the available space of the conventional memory is increased. As a result, the computer system can have enough conventional memory space for loading and executing the initiating program of the interface device during a Power-On Self Test (POST) so as to achieve the purpose of initiating the system.
