Method of operating a computer system with a central processing unit and a
hard disk system coupled with the central processor, the method comprising the
steps of:
- partitioning the hard disk into at least a bootable partition and a
second partition;
- determining a write protection for the bootable partition;
- using the second partition as a write cache thereby maintaining the
bootable partition;
- if a write protection is not set, then flushing the write cache to the
bootable partition during a shutdown procedure.
