Information processing apparatus, information processing apparatus control program, and information processing apparatus control method

There is disclosed an information processing apparatus, information processing apparatus control program, and information processing apparatus control method which improve system-recoverability. The information processing apparatus copies contents of a first OS partition storing a first OS 31, and comprises: a copy setting section 32 which works on the first OS 31, sets startup information in a non-volatile memory when the information processing apparatus is started up next, the startup information giving an instruction about startup of a second OS 41 stored on a second OS partition as a partition different from the first OS partition, sets a copy identification file 56 giving an instruction about copying of the contents of the first OS partition, and restarts the information processing apparatus; a BIOS 21 which works when the information processing apparatus is started up, and starts up the second OS 41, based on the startup information; and a copy execution section 42 which works on the second OS, and creates an image file 55 as a copy of the contents of the first OS partition, on a partition different from the first OS partition, based on the copy identification file 56.
