Method and apparatus for determining the drive letter assignment of a CD-ROM drive during initial system setup of a computer system

摘要

A computer system includes a processor, at least one computer-readable media drive, and manufacturing process code. The manufacturing process code includes executable instructions for causing the processor to determine a drive letter designation of the at least one computer-readable media drive. The computer system further includes an operating system and a system descriptor record, wherein the operating system includes a desktop suitable for implementation of shortcuts and menu selections to computer-readable media drive based software applications. The drive letter designation of the computer-readable media drive is further a function of the operating system and the system descriptor record. Still further, the manufacturing process code enables a determination of the computer-readable media drive letter designation by the processor to be operable prior to the operating system desktop becoming fully initialized, further for enabling a binding of computer-readable media drive based software applications in an establishing of the shortcuts and menu selections on the desktop.
