&ms-dos; or µsoft.windows;, the BIOS is able to abstract the
|
||||
normal disk drive order, and
|
||||
the operating system goes along with the change. This allows the user
|
||||
to boot from a disk drive other than the so-called <quote>primary
|
||||
master</quote>. This is especially convenient for some users who have
|
||||
found that the simplest and cheapest way to keep a system backup is to
|
||||
to boot from a disk drive other than the "primary
|
||||
master". This is especially convenient for users
|
||||
buy an identical second hard drive, and perform routine copies of the
|
||||
first drive to the second drive using
|
||||
<application><trademark class="registered">Ghost</trademark></application> or <application>XCOPY</application>
|
||||
. Then, if the
|
||||
first drive fails, or is attacked by a virus, or is scribbled upon by an
|
||||
operating system defect, he can easily recover by instructing the BIOS
|
||||
first drive to the second drive.

drives, but without having to open the case.</para>
