Abstract: Provided is a manner of switching between the operating environment of a primary OS and the operating environment of a secondary OS. In certain embodiments, a HDD keeps a runtime image of the secondary OS generated in a system memory. A DMA space for allowing the secondary OS to operate is formed in a physical address space where a memory image of the primary OS is active. The runtime image of the secondary OS is transferred to the DMA space. The operation of the memory image of the primary OS is stopped and the runtime image of the secondary OS is executed in the DMA space. Before activating the memory image of the primary OS, the runtime image of the secondary OS is saved to the HDD again.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of easily managing two or more OSs. A host OS, a guest OS, and a virtualization module are loaded into a primary physical address area of a main memory. The guest OS is executed in a virtual environment in a primary physical address area. A memory image of the guest OS loaded in the primary physical address area is copied to a secondary physical address area. The right of access to a processor is transferred to the guest OS copied in the secondary physical address area to execute the guest OS in a physical environment.

Abstract: The present invention protects a memory image of an OS in a sleep state. A CPU executes a first OS or a second OS while switching there between. The first OS is loaded into a main memory, and the second OS is loaded into an auxiliary memory. The auxiliary memory may be connected to a chipset through a PCIe interface. The main memory and the auxiliary memory are configured such that, when one is in an active state where the right of access to the CPU is obtained, the other makes a transition to the sleep state where there is no right of access to the CPU while maintaining the memory image. In order to prevent one OS in the active state from accessing the main memory or the auxiliary memory in which the memory image of the other OS in the sleep state is stored, the BIOS may set a corresponding controller to disabled during a POST.
