Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system initialization or boot mechanism for a data processing system for facilitating system recovery and (or) self restoration. SOLUTION: An alternate boot record 310 is recorded in an end part on the physically opposite side of a master boot record 304 on a hard disk drive inside the data processing system. When the master boot record 304 or the alternate boot record 310 is used for system initialization, extension boot records 314 and 316 stored before respective logic sections are used for the section. In the case that the trial of initializing the data processing system by using the master boot record is a failure, the alternate boot record 310 is used so as to initialize the data processing system. Thus, the alternate boot record forms a part of an automatic recovery mechanism inside the data processing system.
