A method of allowing an operating system of a computer system (20) to persist across a power off and on cycle is described. The method includes the step of detecting if the computer system (20) is to be powered off (51). If the computer system (20) is dectected to be powered off, the state of the computer system (20) is then preserved by storing data representing the state of the computer system (20) in a designated area of a nonvolatile memory (23, 54). A system initilization code of the operating system is then replaced with new system initialization code that branches to restart code that accesses to the designated area of the nonvolatile memory (23, 55) such that when the computer system (20) is again powered on, the restart code accesses the designated area of the nonvolatile memory (23) for the data to restore the computer system (20) to the state before it was powered off.
Procédé permettant de maintenir l'état courant du système d'exploitation d'un ordinateur (20) sur tout un cycle de mise hors tension/sous tension. Ce procédé consiste à détecter si l'ordinateur (20) doit être mis hors tension (51). Si tel est le cas, l'état de l'ordinateur (20) est maintenu par la mémorisation de données représentant cet état dans une zone indiquée d'une mémoire rémanente (23, 54). Un code d'initialisation système du système d'exploitation est ensuite remplacé par un nouveau code d'initialisation système qui renvoie à un code de redémarrage accédant à la zone indiquée de la mémoire rémanente (23, 55), de sorte que, lorsque l'ordinateur (20) est à nouveau mis sous tension, le code de redémarrage accède à la zone indiquée de la mémoire rémanente (23) afin que les données puissent remettre l'ordinateur (20) à l'état où il était avant d'être mis hors tension.
