  • Patent number: 7949814
    Abstract: Method for ‘Cool-Swap’, ‘Warm-Swap’ and ‘Hot-Swap’ of ‘Fixed’ ‘System’ hard disk(s) in and out of the computer and for re-cycling the computer between ‘diskly’ state to ‘diskless’ state by combining the following features in one way or the other: separating the power supply of the ‘Fixed’ ‘System’ hard disk(s) from the internal power supply that is supplying power to other components of the computer, in particular the motherboard; taking the operating system, capable of being taken to run as ramdisk-based operating system, in control of the computer to run as ramdisk-based operating system; putting the computer into different power management states; and issuing commands or instructions for logical disconnection and/or re-connection of hard disk(s).

  • Patent number: 7181738
    Abstract: A method, resulting in producing a customized running image of files, is provided for running, through customized booting process. Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME on ramdisk in protected WINDOWS mode with additional advantages of either freedom of choice of access to non-volatile rewriteable storage medium or flexibility of preserving user configuration in User Drive(s). The method and the booting process include the steps of producing a customized copy of configuration files used by Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME; copying these configuration files, system files provided by Microsoft for setting up Windows 95/98/ME, other device drivers and programs to storage medium/media to be used in computer system(s) or device(s) capable of running Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME; and with the use of these files from the storage medium/media, booting up in real DOS mode, preparing for and running off Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME on ramdisk in protected WINDOWS mode in the computer system(s) or device(s).
