  • Apparatus for restoring/copying the contents recorded in a storage medium to an auxiliary storage including partitions having independent file structures
    Patent number: 5829045
    Abstract: An apparatus for restoring/copying recorded contents includes a first auxiliary storage (for example, a hard disk) including partitions each having an independent file structure. One particular partition recording partition data concerns the storage position of data in the partitions. A second auxiliary storage (for example, a CD-ROM) includes one partition data file corresponding to the particular partition in the hard disk for holding the partition data, and partition files corresponding to the partitions in the hard disk for holding the contents of the partitions. A partition data restoring unit reads the partition data file from the CD-ROM and records the partition data into the particular partition in the hard disk in response to an input command for restoration from the CD-ROM to the hard disk.
