Abstract

See full text

An image forming apparatus capable of changing partitions of a storage unit without using another storage unit stored with a system for partition change. At startup of the image forming apparatus, a file system is developed on a DRAM from a flash memory and executed by a CPU of the image forming apparatus. When determining that partition change is to be performed, a partition change module that operates on the CPU performs the partition change in a state where the flash memory is not mounted. Subsequently, an operating system placed on the flash memory is started up.
