Abstract:
An information processing apparatus including: a first recording medium which stores a first program; a connection section which is capable of connecting to a second recording medium outside of the information processing apparatus; an instruction input section to input, while the information processing apparatus is in an activated state, an instruction for booting a second program stored in the second recording medium that is connected to the connection section on booting of the BIOS; and a controller which, performs a check when booting of a BIOS, if the second recording medium is connected and the instruction has been input while the information processing apparatus is in an activated state; in case when the second recording medium is connected and the instruction has been input is confirmed, the control section boots the second program; and in case when it is not confirmed, the control section boots the first program.
