Abstract
A computer system having a hard disk drive including a product key input program for writing a product key of an operating system (OS) program in a CMOS RAM, and a CD-ROM drive including a recovery program for recovering an OS program and application programs to an initial state. Should a defect of the hard disk drive or critical error of the OS program occur, the OS program may need be reinstalled or a recovery program may be run to recover the initial states of the OS program and the application programs. The product key stored in the CMOS RAM will be used during the recovery or re-install process, so that the user does not have to manually input the product key again.
