Abstract:
1. A method of sequentially selecting a bootable memory module for booting, the method comprises steps: detecting memory modules in sequence to choose usable memory modules before loading various parameters stored in a BIOS of a computer into the memory modules inserted into a memory module slot of a main board of the computer; loading the various parameters of the BIOS into a first memory module of the usable memory modules; comparing the parameters stored in the first memory module with the original parameters of the BIOS to determine whether they are matched or not, performing a subsequent booting operation by using the parameters stored in the first memory module if they are matched; labeling the first memory module as a failed memory module and discarding the failed memory module to load the parameters into a next first memory card and to perform a comparing step of the next first memory card if they are not matched, wherein the comparing step is continuously performed in sequence until a bootable memory module is found.
