    Initializing method of hard disk drive and copying device therefor
    The present invention relates to a hard disk drive, and more particularly, to a method and a copying apparatus for copying the program from an original hard disk drive on which a program is already installed to a copy hard disk drive that is not initialized.
    Typically, a hard disc drive (HDD) is a system that combines a head disc assembly (HDA) made of mechanical components and a printed circuit board (PCB) made of circuit components. It is widely used as an auxiliary memory device of a computer system because it can magnetically write / read data on a disk to access a large amount of data at high speed.
    In such a case, if the hard disk drive is to be copied to a large amount of the original hard disk drive where the program is installed, it must be installed after formatting the disk. Therefore, you can copy the hard disk drive from the original hard disk drive to the copy hard disk drive, from sector to sector, without going through FDISK, formatting, and program installation. This was possible only if the models were identical. Then, the conventional copying method as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
    1 is a flowchart for controlling an initialization copy method of a conventional hard disk drive. Referring to FIG. 1, in step 100, an original hard disk drive of the same model as a hard disk drive to be copied is mounted on a host computer to start a copying process. Then, in step 110, the host computer installs a hard disk drive to copy. Then, in step 120 to 130, the host computer checks the models of the mounted hard disk drives to detect whether the models of the original hard disk drive and the copy hard disk drive have the same capacity. In this case, when the models and the capacity of the two hard disk drives are not the same, the host computer repeats step 110 to mount a copy hard disk drive of another model. However, when the models and capacities of the two hard disk drives are the same, the host computer copies the contents of the original hard disk drive to the copy hard disk drive in step 140. Then, when copying of the copy hard disk drive is completed, in step 150, the host computer detects a command to continue production from the user and terminates the program when there is no production command. However, when there is a command to continue production from the user, the host computer detects whether the user has a command to change the model of the original hard disk drive by performing step 160. At this time, when changing the model of the original hard disk drive, the host computer performs step 100 again, and then repeats the process thereafter, but if the model of the original hard disk drive is not changed, step 110 is performed again. And then repeat the process. However, when copying a program to multiple copy hard disk drives having different capacities and models, it is necessary to always use the same capacity and model of the original and copy hard disk drives. There has been a cost problem of having as many source hard disk drives as the number of copy hard disk drives.
    In addition, as another problem of the present invention, if the capacity and model are different after connecting the program embedded in the original hard disk drive to the copy hard disk drive, the working hard disk drives of different models should be connected. There was a problem falling.
    Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a hard disk drive for storing a program by dividing a storage area of one original hard disk drive into a plurality of areas by model type.
    Another object of the present invention is to divide the storage space of one original hard disk drive into multiple areas as model types, and to store the program. When connecting multiple copy hard disk drives of different models, A method of copying a program to the copy hard disk drive is provided.
    As described above, the present invention provides a device for copying an initialization program by connecting copy hard disk drives of different models, wherein the original program is copied so that a program of the same model can be copied when the program is copied to the copy hard disk drive. And a recording medium for recording a program by dividing the data storage area of the hard disk drive into a plurality of models.

    Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.
    2 is a block diagram of a general original hard disk drive according to the present invention. 2, the disks 210 are rotated by a spindle motor 234. The magnetic heads 212 are located on the corresponding one of the disks 210 and face the disks from the E-block assembly 214 coupled with the rotary voice coil actuator 230. Corresponding to the support arms extending toward 210, respectively. The preamplifier 216 preamplifies the signal picked up by one of the heads 212 at the time of read, and applies the analog read signal to the read / write channel circuit 218. Encoded write data applied from the read / write channel circuit 218 is written onto the disc through the corresponding one of the heads 212. The read / write channel circuit 218 detects and decodes a data pulse from a read signal applied from the preamplifier 216 and applies the read / write channel circuit 218 to the disk data controller 220. Decode and apply to preamplifier 216. The DDC 220 writes the data received from the host computer onto the disc through the read / write channel circuit 218 and the preamplifier 216. The DDC 220 also interfaces the communication between the host computer and the microcontroller 224. The buffer RAM 222 temporarily stores data transferred between the host computer, the microcontroller 224 and the read / write channel circuit 218. The microcontroller 226 controls the DDC 220 in response to a read or write command received from the host computer and controls track search and track following. The PROM 26 stores the execution program of the microcontroller 224 and various setting values. The servo driver 228 generates a driving current for driving the actuator 230 by a signal for controlling the position of the heads 212 generated from the microcontroller 224 and applies it to the voice coil of the actuator 230. . The actuator 230 moves the heads 212 on the disks 210 corresponding to the direction and level of the driving current applied from the servo driver 228. The spindle motor driver 232 rotates the disks 210 by driving the spindle motor 234 according to a control value for the rotation control of the disks 210 generated from the microcontroller 224. The disk signal controller 236 generates various timing signals necessary for read / write under the control of the microcontroller 224, decodes the servo information, and applies the decoded servo information to the microcontroller 224.
    3 is a block diagram of a general host computer to which the present invention is applied. Referring to FIG. 3, the micro-processor 300 performs overall control inside the host computer. The memory unit includes a ROM 308 and a RAM 306, and stores an execution program and various information for executing the present invention. The direct memory access (DMA) controller unit 302 allows data to be transferred between the memory unit and the input / output controller 304 which is an input / output device independent of the operation of the micro-processor 300. The input / output controller 304 controls the hard disk drives 314 and 316 which are input / output devices. The system control bus 312 is a kind of control path that transmits a control signal generated from the micro-processor 300 to each corresponding part or a signal applied to the micro-processor 300 from each corresponding part.
    Therefore, when copying a hard disk drive in which a program is not installed using the original hard disk drive, the host computer of FIG. 3 controls the microcontroller 224 shown in FIG. Execution programs and various information are stored in the main memory inside the host computer.
    In this case, the hard disk drive shown in FIG. 2 is a source hard disk drive having a program to copy, and the magnetic storage area therein has the configuration as shown in FIG. 4, and according to the number of models of each of the copy hard disk drives. It divides the storage area, connects the copy hard disk drives, and copies the program in the storage area according to the model when copying.
    Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the block diagram of FIGS. 2 and 3 through the schematic diagram of FIG. 4 and the flowchart of FIG. 5. Referring to FIG. 5, a copy hard disk drive is first connected to a source hard disk drive having a magnetic recording medium having a format as shown in FIG. 4 via a host computer. Thereafter, in step 510, the host computer performs a copy mode for copying a hard disk drive without a program installed. Thereafter, in step 520, the host computer checks the capacity and model of the copy hard disk drive. Thereafter, in steps 530 to 540, the host computer reads an area in the magnetic disk 210 corresponding to the capacity and model of the copy hard disk drive, and copies the region to the magnetic disk of the copy hard disk drive.
